To jump-start job creation and weatherization work, the Department of Energy is releasing the first installment of the funding - about $780 million -- in the next few days. The Department will release additional funding over time as states demonstrate that they are using the funding effectively and responsibly to create jobs and cut energy use. The funding will support weatherization of homes, including adding more insulation, sealing leaks and modernizing heating and air conditioning equipment, which will pay for itself many times over.
The Weatherization Assistance Program will allow an average investment of up to $6,500 per home in energy efficiency upgrades and will be available for families making up to 200% of the federal poverty level - or about $44,000 a year for a family of four. [$55,140 for Alaska and $50,720 for Hawaii]
The State Energy Program funding will be available for rebates to consumers for home energy audits or other energy saving improvements; development of renewable energy projects for clean electricity generation and alternative fuels; promotion of Energy Star products; efficiency upgrades for state and local government buildings; and other innovative state efforts to help save families money on their energy bills.
The DOE's Weatherization Assistance Program allows low-income families to reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient, reducing heating bills by an average of 32% and overall energy bills by hundreds of dollars per year. (DOE)

There's already a lot of calculation needed to figure out how efficient a vehicle is. Here in the U.S., the government tries to help by publishing official MPG numbers of the various models offered for sale. But these numbers just muddy things up, say two management professors - Richard Larrick and Jack Soll - over at Duke University. Thinking in terms of miles per gallon doesn't give people a good understanding of a vehicle's real efficiency when compared to other vehicles.
In Europe, for example, mileage figures are given in liters per kilometers. There are online calculators we can use to figure out what the MPG equivalents are, but the Duke profs think we should be moving to a gallons per mile model here in the U.S. That way, people might begin to see that trading a 14mpg SUV for a 21mpg hybrid version, for example, saves more fuel than trading in a 35mpg sedan for a 50mpg Prius. Right now, very few consumers realize this when they're out debating which car to buy. Sure, a Prius burns less fuel than a SUV hybrid over the same distance, no question, but there's something to be said for the seemingly mediocre fuel economy improvements made in the low-mpg segments. From the pres release pasted after the jump:
- Most people ranked an improvement from 34 to 50 mpg as saving more gas over 10,000 miles than an improvement from 18 to 28 mpg, even though the latter saves twice as much gas. (Going from 34 to 50 mpg saves 94 gallons; but from 18 to 28 mpg saves 198 gallons).
This is something we've pointed out on AutoblogGreen before, but we're glad to have some research on public (mis-)understanding of the numbers to refer back to in the future. The main point is that we need to prioritize getting the most inefficient vehicles off the road, not trying to get everyone into a hyper-efficient hybrid. You can listen to a three-minute interview with Richard Larrick on NPR.
Gallons Per Mile Would Help Car Shoppers Make Better Decisions
DURHAM, N.C., June 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Posting a vehicle's fuel efficiency in "gallons per mile" rather than "miles per gallon" would help consumers make better decisions about car purchases and environmental impact, researchers from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business report in the June 20 issue of Science magazine.
Inspired by debates they had while carpooling in a hybrid car, management professors Richard Larrick and Jack Soll ran a series of experiments showing that the current standard, miles per gallon or mpg, leads consumers to believe that fuel consumption is reduced at an even rate as efficiency improves. People presented with a series of car choices in which fuel efficiency was defined in miles per gallon were not able to easily identify the choice that would result in the greatest gains in fuel efficiency.
For example, most people ranked an improvement from 34 to 50 mpg as saving more gas over 10,000 miles than an improvement from 18 to 28 mpg, even though the latter saves twice as much gas. (Going from 34 to 50 mpg saves 94 gallons; but from 18 to 28 mpg saves 198 gallons).
These mistaken impressions were corrected, however, when participants were presented with fuel efficiency expressed in gallons used per 100 miles rather than mpg. Viewed this way, 18 mpg becomes 5.5 gallons per 100 miles, and 28 mpg is 3.6 gallons per 100 miles -- an $8 difference today.
"The reality that few people appreciate is that improving fuel efficiency from 10 to 20 mpg is actually a more significant savings than improving from 25 to 50 mpg for the same distance of driving," Larrick said.
Soll noted that replacing a large vehicle that gets 10 mpg with one that gets 20 mpg reduces gas use per 100 miles from 10 gallons to five, a 5-gallon savings. Replacing a small vehicle that gets 25 mpg with one that gets 50 mpg reduces gas use per 100 miles from 4 gallons to 2, a saving of only 2 gallons.
"Miles per gallon is misleading and can play tricks on our intuitions," Soll said.
"For families and other owners of more than one type of vehicle, the greatest fuel savings often comes from improving the efficiency of the less efficient car," Soll added. "When fuel efficiency is expressed as gallons per 100 miles, it becomes clear which combination of cars will save a family the most gas.
"We believe that everyone should try to be as fuel efficient as possible. For some people, that may mean driving the most efficient car available, such as a small hybrid car, but for others it may mean finding the most efficient option possible within their chosen class of car," Soll said. "There are significant savings to be had by improving efficiency by even two or three miles per gallon on inefficient cars, but because we communicate in miles per gallon, that savings is not immediately evident to consumers."
The authors recommend that consumer publications and car manufacturers list efficiency in terms of gallons per 10,000 miles driven, which is already the standard in many other countries. "This measure makes it easy to see how much gas one might use in a given year of driving and how much gas, and money, can be saved by opting for a car with greater efficiency," Larrick said.
Larrick and Soll's research was funded by Duke University.

An API(Application Programming Interface) allows data exchange from one software to another. Every application nowadays majorly relies on APIs. Hence, API testing is critical and the product has to be tested thoroughly before rolling out to the end user.
It is the software testing practice that tests the APIs directly to ascertain if they meet the requirements for performance, security, functionality and dependability. An API is worthless if it can’t be depended upon, hence testing to validate its implementation is key. An API Test is a set of testing activities that consists of sending calls to the API, getting the result, and validating the response of the system against the definite input parameters. This is done to ensure that the API does what it is supposed to perform, manages the load, works across browsers/ OSs and devices.
Image from https://www.tiempodev.com
Types of API Testing
Validation testing is one of the steps in the development process. It verifies the aspects of the product, behavior and efficiency to validate the API.
Functional testing is a test of specific functions within the codebase. These tests are run to ensure that the API functions are within the expected parameters and errors are handled properly, when the results are outside of the expected parameters.
UI testing is specifically concerned with the function of the UI for the API and its integral parts, whether that interface relies upon command-line endpoint calls or graphical in nature. It focuses more on the interface which ties into the API rather than the API itself. It provides an overview of the health, usability, and efficiency of both, the front and back ends.
Load testing is typically done after the completion of a specific unit or the whole codebase. Load testing monitors the app's performance at both normal and peak conditions. The test is in place to safeguard the effortless performance functioning of the software under real-life conditions.
5. Security Testing
This testing ensures that the API implementation is secure form external threats. Security testing generally encompasses penetration and fuzz testing which works to authenticate encryption and access control for the user. It also entails additional steps including validation of encryption methodologies and validating the design of the access control solution for the API.
6. Runtime/ Error Detection
This type of test is entirely concerned with the actual running of the API. This includes the implementation of manual or automated tests that work to expose glitches. Examples are resource leaks, exceptions, etc.
7. Penetration Testing
It works as a simulated attack against your computer. This is an important test as it operates to find valid weaknesses that an attacker can take advantage of when the system is most vulnerable. In this type of test, the API is attacked by someone who has limited working knowledge of the API itself in order to assess the threat vector from an outside perspective. These attacks can be limited to certain functions, resources, or processes, or can target the entirety of the API and its constituent parts.
8. Fuzz Testing
In fuzz testing, a vast amount of random data (referred to as "noise" or "fuzz") will be input into the system to detect any forced crashes or negative behaviors. This technique tests the API’s limits to prepare for the "worst-case scenarios."
9. Interoperability and WS Compliance Testing
It is only applicable for SOAP APIs. It generally checks for two fields of function. First: Interoperability between SOAP APIs is checked to examine whether the software can intermingled with other components without any compatibility issues. Second: compliance is checked to make sure standards like WS-Discovery, WS-Addressing, WS-Federation, WS-Security, WS-Policy, and WS-Trust are properly utilized and maintained.

One of the most common problems with older homes is the development of cracks and holes in plaster walls and ceilings. Usually, the cracks aren’t indications of any more serious structural problems, but are unsightly at least and, at worst, can spread and worsen until the problem becomes so serious that it requires professional attention.
The best thing you can do to keep your plaster-walled home in good repair is stay on top of the little cracks and holes by spot-filling them as soon as they develop.
And use a bit of homeowner foresight, too. Be careful with tools, furniture and appliances around your plaster walls. An ill-fitting window air conditioner can leak profusely into your plaster without a hint of a problem, until the plaster becomes saturated and starts to crumble, literally before your eyes!
If you own a plaster-walled home, you should always keep a few supplies on hand for emergency repairs, including:
– spackling compound, pre-mixed paste or water-soluble powder
– a flexible metal putty knife, with the blade about three inches wide
– a metal plaster trowel to smooth the repair compound
– a chisel to hack away old plaster when necessary, and
– sandpaper, preferably fine-grit.
It’s always a good idea to keep a few clean paintbrushes on hand, too. You’ll always use at least one clean pail as well.
The two key ingredients that only you can supply to your plaster-repair project are patience and care. It’s not difficult, but can’t be rushed. Like painting, plastering requires a fairly methodical approach that, if violated, will produce flaking and peeling, and yet another do-over.
So save yourself time and trouble by doing it right the first time! Here’s how to fix a typical crack or hole:
1. Prepare your mixture. Follow the directions on the package. Pre-mixed spackling compound and pastes are available at most hardware stores, and are much easier to use and less messy than water-soluble powders.
2. Begin by widening the crack or hole. What you want to do is make a repair that essentially bonds the new plaster to the old, to produce a seamless and smooth wall. That means you’ll need to fuse the new with the old, from the inside out.
3. Using your chisel and a clean, dry paintbrush, chip carefully at the crack or hole and immediately brush away dust and debris. Think of the opening you’re creating as an inverted pyramid. You want it to be wider at the bottom, nearer the lathe, than at the top. That way, the base of the plaster repair is wide and strong.
4. When you’re satisfied that all of the broken plaster has been removed, wet your paintbrush in your pail of clean water, and saturate the repair area.
5. Use your putty knife to scoop out a wad of spackling compound or whatever repair mixture you’ve chosen. Press the stuff deep into the opening, repeatedly, until the opening is filled.
6. If you are repairing a large hole, you might need to make the repair in two batches. If so, you have to allow the first batch to dry completely before beginning the second patch. A metal trowel is handy for these bigger jobs.
7. Spackling compound will shrink as it dries. You want to leave no air pockets or bubbles, so press down hard, moving your putty knife up, down, back and forth as you probe for a tight, solid seal. It’s best to overfill, then use your putty knife to scrape the excess off.
8. Take your sandpaper and gently sand the new plaster patch entirely, making sure the repair is completely smooth and there are no ridges or bumps where the new patch meets the old wall.
9. Check carefully as the plaster is drying. To ensure a smooth bond, wet the area slightly and press down on the trowel to smooth the damp patch to the wall.
10. When the area is completely dry and you’re satisfied with the repair, simply paint or wallpaper to match the old wall. If you’ve been careful about your process, you’ll be enjoying your fabulous plaster walls for many years to come!

DVIGear, a leading manufacturer of digital connectivity products, is introducing the game-changing new DisplayNet AV distribution platform at InfoComm15 in Orlando, FL on June 17-19 at Booth 3659. DVIGear is also demonstrating its comprehensive suite of end-to-end 4K (UHD) video distribution solutions at the show.
DisplayNet: AV Connectivity – Redefined
DisplayNet is a new platform for AV distribution that uses 10GbE technology to switch, extend and distribute uncompressed AV signals in real time with resolutions up to 4K (UHD). By leveraging 10GbE Ethernet technology, the DisplayNet platform offers increased scalability, versatility and reliability thanks to the enormous installed base of 10GbE hardware used in IT / data center applications around the world.
For almost a decade, AV Systems have been designed primarily around proprietary matrix switchers. While this switching technology has driven a wide range of innovations, there have been several drawbacks. Proprietary matrix switchers are expensive, they provide limited flexibility and scalability, and they require costly specialized support. Now, System designers and integrators can use DisplayNet™ to effortlessly distribute AV signals using standard off-the-shelf 10GbE network switches. DisplayNet supports a wide array of applications including Point-to-Point Extension and complex Matrix Switching, as well as Video Wall and MultiViewer (coming in 2016) displays.
Comprehensive Range of 4K Distribution Solutions
At InfoComm15 in Orlando, DVIGear is also exhibiting a complete range of 4K video distribution solutions designed and built to overcome the challenges of transporting signals at the high data rates required by 4K video. DVIGear’s MXP Series matrix switchers are non-blocking cross-platform switchers that are completely modular. Several frame sizes are available enabling I/O arrays from 8×8 up to 80×80. Using a high-speed digital routing engine, the MXP Series can easily support 4K /30p signals simply by installing the available 4K I/O cards shipping since 2013. These cards are field-proven and are capable of routing 4K signals over fiber, twisted pair, and copper connections.
DVIGear will also show the DVI-3580a, which supports switching, scaling and MultiViewing of video signals at resolutions up to 4K /30p. This high-performance, low-cost unit includes 4x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort, and 1x VGA/Component input as well as 1x HDMI and 1x HDBaseT™ output. Four user-selectable windowing modes are available. It also supports other advanced features such as audio embedding and de-embedding, as well as EDID management capabilities all at $2,250 MSRP.
DVIGear will also exhibit a wide range of 4K video signal extension technologies. Among these are DVIGear’s long-reach copper cables, CAT-X twisted pair extenders, and fiber optic extenders. The SHR™ Series HDMI and DVI copper cables support 4K /30p up to ~25 ft. (7.5 meters), while the HR Series DisplayPort cables support 4K /60p up to ~50 ft. (15 meters). Several twisted pair extenders are available that use HDBaseT technology to extend 4K /30p up to 330 ft. (100 meters). DVIGear’s DVI-7520 and DVI-7525 provide a simple, cost-effective way to extend uncompressed video, audio, IR and RS-232 as well as Ethernet all over a single CAT-X cable. These HDBaseT extenders fully comply with the POH standard to extend remote power from the transmitter to the receiver, simplifying installation.

Demand for digitally based surveillance systems is increasing at an unprecedented rate. Whether the surveillance system application is needed to monitor traffic levels, protect vital company assets or provide a safer environment for passengers, they all have one thing in common: the information must be reliably and safely archived for future reference.
Video surveillance applications place great demands on storage, especially long-term archival storage. With multi-camera installations and high-definition digital recording systems in use, users are employing high-resolution, high-frame rate, quality footage to protect their assets. Retention periods are increasing up to multiple years which exceeds the capabilities of VHS tape and single hard disk drives to store and quickly retrieve archived footage on demand.

Medical prosthesis was born in the 1990s. It is the gospel of the century for disabled patients. Because of the accidental loss of a part of the body, now as long as you wear a medical prosthesis, you can restore the same appearance and life as ordinary people.
In recent years, with the continuous development of the medical industry, traditional medical prostheses and prosthetic cosmetic foot have been used in the medical beauty industry, and disabled patients have more choices. So what's the difference between traditional medical prosthesis and prosthetic cosmetic foot?
The color of traditional medical prosthesis is is not natural enough. It is stiff to use and the material is not comfortable enough. Although patients get a little convenience after wearing, they still feel inferior psychologically, which is not true. In many public occasions, the prosthetic limb has been hidden in the sleeve, unwilling to be shown to the public, even dare not reach out for a drink of water, afraid of being treated with colored eyes by others.
You can say that. Although the body is sound by wearing artificial limbs, but also because of the lack of simulation, feel inferior, resulting in psychological changes, and even develop into a psychological disease.
Prosthetic cosmetic foot, the latest polymer material, simulation silica gel, is used.
The characteristics of prosthetic cosmetic foot :
1. Prosthetic cosmetic foot, silica gel is a kind of material with high thermal and cold stability (between - 100 ° C and + 250 ° C, it can also maintain stable properties), soft and elastic, environmental friendly and non-toxic, harmless to the body.
2. The prosthetic cosmetic foot has excellent electrical insulation, good oxidation resistance to oxygen, odorous oxygen and sunlight, and no corrosiveness. The chemical property is stable and it is not easy to react with any substance.
3. The prosthetic cosmetic foot has good durability, is less sensitive to the skin, and is more elastic than PVC material.
4. The prosthetic cosmetic foot has higher degree of simulation, and the psychological drop of patients is small.

A fighting podium place and important points haul has kept reigning champ Sandy Mitchell in the British GT title hunt after the latest double-header round at Snetterton.
The Angus 21-year-old and team-mate Adam Balon left the Norfolk circuit with a second and fourth place in their No. 1 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo, prepared by Barwell Motorsport.
Mitchell heads to the next round at Oulton Park in Cheshire deep in the fight to retain his crown.
The young Lamborghini factory driver said: “To walk away from the weekend, especially given the mixed weather conditions we had — sunshine, wind and heavy rain — with a P2 and P4 in the championship standings in the two one-hour races is excellent.
“We handled the first race well. Adam did a solid job in his stint, then I had a lot of pace at the start of my stint before I had to manage a rear brake issue over the final 20 minutes.”
But while the first race at the Norfolk circuit was run in dry conditions, minutes before the start of the second one-hour race the skies opened.
Again starting from fourth on the grid, Mitchell was up to third exiting the first corner, but was then overtaken by the #97 Aston Martin.
After a short safety car period, the young Taysider eased passed the No. 63 sister Barwell Lamborghini and championship leader when Dane Dennis Lind ran wide.
Nine minutes later, he produced a dazzling overtake with a strong cutback manoeuvre to re-pass the Aston Martin for P2.
Mitchell, from Letham, near Forfar said: “I was pleased with that move. I settled into a good rhythm at the start of the race and it looked like our car was set up a little bit more for longer distance than the Aston.
“After that I was able to set a couple of fastest laps in the wet conditions and started closing in on the lead Mercedes.
“Following our driver change, Adam chased the Mercedes down for the first few laps.
“But then I think our tyres started to go off a little bit as they got hot as the track dried and we opted to consolidate our second place.”
Oulton Park in September features two more one-hour sprint races with Mitchell and Balon sitting just 19.5 points off the sister Barwell car of Lind and Leo Machitski which leads the championship.


3D Realms Founder Scott Miller Responds To Duke Nukem Forever Leak
Earlier this week, the original 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever leaked online. The build is reportedly playable, with nearly all levels to explore, weapons to fire, and a few baddies to shoot. It runs on Unreal Engine, according to the leaker, and a more built-out version of the game will be released later in June.
What’s most interesting about the leak is how close it seemed to a ready-to-ship product. Now we’re hearing straight from 3D Realms and Apogee founder Scott Miller that the 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever was anything but ready.
"Anyone expecting much of a playable game will be disappointed," Miller wrote on Apogee’s website. "The game's brilliant trailer from that period definitely over-represented what was actually playable in the game."
Scott Miller founded Apogee Software Productions in 1987, using the name to release 2D action platformers while later founding 3D Realms to release fully 3D games such as Prey and Duke Nukem Forever, which infamously took over 14 years to develop.
"While our games like Max Payne and Prey were keeping the company afloat, Duke Nukem Forever was a constant money pit for the company and eventually killed the original 3D Realms/Apogee," Miller admitted. While he wasn't part of the original project, he was company owner, which gave him several insights into just what went wrong with Duke Nukem forever.
First, 3D Realms was "always understaffed by at least 50%," which when combined with an almost total lack of development roadmap, meant that progress was always slow. And because of the already slow development, whenever a new technology arrived, it would cause Duke Nukem Forever to reboot development using that new tech. Forever started on the Quake II engine before then moving to the Unreal Engine and finally settling on Unreal Engine 2.
Recognizing the problems surrounding Duke Nukem Forever, Miller said that he tried to divest the game to another studio, with Warframe developer Digital Extremes topping the list. However, that idea was "shot down internally." Duke Nukem Forever development would cease in 2009 as the company downsized. Only when Gearbox offered to purchase the Duke IP did development restart, with the game releasing in 2011.
"It's a very sad story no matter how you look at it," Miller added. "It brought 3D Realms to its knees, all of our development team left or was released, and the 3D Realms name is now owned by someone with no connection to our past." 3D Realms was sold to Embracer Group in 2021 along with Gearbox.
Miller does still seem to think fondly of The Duke, and even offers Gearbox a plan to bring Duke back from the dead. "I do hope that Gearbox can resurrect Duke Nukem at some point. It seems like the obvious move would be to recreate Duke Nukem 3D using Unreal 5. And if it does well, then start making more Duke adventures while also expanding the universe with new characters."

How I Recycled an Old Florescent Tube Lamp to use LEDs.
I had a great lamp that had a florescent "Pure White' -type of bulb. It worked great - until the ballast up and died on me.
Rather than throw it away and find a new one, I decided to break out the old soldering iron and hack it with a few LEDs.
I used this site to calculate how much LEDs I could run with what power supplied. I calculated a total of 21 LEDs in 3 'strands' - one to point straight down and the other 2 to point up into the reflector. I used fritzing to both design the board I needed and to fabricate 2 boards (a spare just in case.)
This is just a few pictures, but shows what I did.

Robotic surgery assists surgeons perform complex operations and procedures with accuracy and precision. It also increases the flexibility and control of the procedures, which is otherwise difficult to achieve in traditional surgical procedures.
In most commonly used robotic surgical system, one arm has a camera attached to it, while the other has the surgical equipment. The surgeon sits near a monitor that displays an HD, magnified, 3D view of the surgical area. The surgeons have to operate the arms of the robot properly to complete the procedure. Often this robotic surgery is coupled with conventional surgical procedures as per the convenience and requirements of the case.
Robotic Surgery Timelines for India
- 2000: FDA approved the Da Vinci system for an urologic Robotic surgery.
- 2006: AIIMS New Delhi became the first hospital to install the system.
- 2007-2017: Decade of growth in robotic surgery in India.
- 2023: 66 Robotic surgery centers in India where 71 robotic systems have been installed.
- 2023: More than 500 doctors trained in using robotic systems for surgical procedures.
- 2023: 12,800 robotic surgeries have been conducted over the last 12 years.
Robotic Surgery Gaining Popularity in India
The need to maintain the distance during and after the COVID19 pandemic has encouraged Indian surgeons and hospitals to adopt robotic-assisted surgeries. The expert surgeons in robotic surgeries in India are becoming more well-known outside India too having performed several successful procedures.
While costs for robotic-assisted surgeries are still relatively high, Indian prices are often competitive, with top-notch medical facilities and high success rates. Most Indian hospitals offering robotic surgeries often have the best teams for clinical coordination and patient care. These factors combined together have encouraged many patients worldwide to come to India for robotic surgery.
According to the data from NCBI, the success rate of robotic surgery is around 94% to 100% in India. There are much fewer complications in robotic surgery as compared to conventional approaches. The duration of the operation has also decreased as a result. Robotic surgery also ensures significantly less blood loss making the success rates even higher.
Health insurance in India mandatorily covers robotic surgery procedures according to the guidelines issued by IRDAI. The factors that health insurance companies cover for robotic surgery include hospitalization charges, fees of surgery, fees of the doctor, cost of nursing facilities, ICU cost, pre and post-hospitalization cost and often the ambulance cost as well.
Robotic surgery is beneficial in the successful and precise completion of complex procedures. Many diseases have complicated processes involved and there robotic surgery is advantageous for the surgeon to keep up flexibility and control. Hence, nowadays, many surgeons in India turn to robotic-assisted surgeries to deliver the best results.
|Robotic Surgery Procedures in India|
|General||Adrenalectomy, Cholecystectomy, Esophagectomy, Gastric Bypass, Heller Myotomy, Thoracic, Esophageal surgery, Thymectomy, Mediastinal Tumor, Resection, Lobectomy|
|Cardiac||Atrial Septal Defect Repair, Mitral Valve Repair, Coronary artery bypass|
|Others||Gallbladder removal, Hip replacement, Hysterectomy, Kidney removal, Kidney transplant, Mitral valve repair, Pyeloplasty|
The success of any surgical program depends on the availability of a large number of cases, standardization of all surgical steps, and repeated exposure to the same disease reinforcing the stringent management protocols and ensuring efficient utilization of resources in a cost-effective manner. The alarmingly rising population of India, though a major social concern, results in very large number of patients being treated by a single surgeon. This is a blessing in disguise as it helps in the learning curve for most robotic surgeons and provides them ample learning opportunities.
Several institutes in India are today offering training programs in robotic surgeries, mentored by senior consultants at various government institutions and private hospitals. With the Vattikuti 1-year fellowship in robotic surgery, the training process has been streamlined with increased opportunities for upcoming young surgeons. Moreover, the da Vinci Basic Surgical Skills Training Center has been started in India to provide additional training opportunities.
Robotic technology has also increased the age of the surgical capabilities of surgeons by its improved ergonomics, motion scaling, and tremor filtration. It is particularly beneficial in a country like India where the demand of surgeons is ever increasing. Surgeons with excellent laparoscopic skills often have an edge and also a shorter learning curve in robotic surgery. Laparoscopy is well established in India. Hence, the transition from a laparoscopic surgeon to a robotic surgeon is smooth, which ensures a shorter learning curve and a faster dissipation.
Robotic Surgery Still a Costly Proposition
The robot currently costs around $1,500,000 as an initial investment with a yearly maintenance cost of $100,000. Besides the cost of the machine, the expenditure incurred in setting up a facility dedicated to robotic surgery is also huge. Much more concerning is the recurring cost of the instruments. A number of procedure-wise cost-effectiveness studies have shown that open/laparoscopic surgeries are much more cost-effective than robotic surgeries for pyeloplasty and prostatectomy.
The large burden of communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria takes priority in the health sector budget of India. The expenditure on robotic surgery will increase the load on the health sector expenditure. Hospitals are also more likely to buy a robot for commercial publicity and superiority, and subsequently, to regain expenses, push surgeons into recruiting patients for robotic surgery.
Success Stories at Indian Hospitals
Stryker Mako Robotic System in Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital
Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai clinically launched its first ever robotic-arm assisted surgical system, Stryker Mako is an advanced ortho-robotic technologies in the world for joint replacement surgery. The first two cases using the new robotic system were successfully performed by Dr Subhash Dhiware, Consultant, Orthopedics, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai with his team. With this clinical launch, the hospital aims to perform over 80 per cent of knee and joint surgeries using the surgical system.
The Mako robotic system, approved by the US FDA is used for total hip, total knee and partial knee replacements. The evolution of technology in the field of orthopaedic surgery today enables precise and flawless joint replacements as compared to manual surgery. Mako’s CT-based planning creates a 3D model of the diseased joint to give the surgeon a complete view into the patient’s joint and the defect. This allows the surgeon to prepare a personalised plan for each individual patient. This is especially important as every patient’s joint structure is different, and arthritis or other joint damage resulting in further alteration of the joint.
Added Dr Dhiware,“This is invaluable in difficult cases and enables the surgeon to position the joint implant with extreme precision and accuracy. It prevents complications from injuries to surrounding normal tissues. Its haptic technology enables surgeons to cut precisely as per the plan with less soft tissue damage and greater bone preservation. Other advantages for the patient include improved outcomes like minimal blood loss, less post-operative pain, less use of painkillers, shorter hospital stay and an earlier return to normal with less physical therapy sessions required.”
CUVIS Joint Robotic System for total knee replacement in Artemis Hospital
Artemis Hospital, Gurugram has recently acquired CUVIS Joint Robotic System for Knee Replacement Surgery, which allows surgeons to preplan surgery through personalized 3D CT imaging. The system is simple to operate and offers flexibility to the surgeons with a range of cutting options. The procedures are accurate, minimally invasive and very safe for the patients.
With the help of the CUVIS JOINT Robotic System surgeons can perform precise implant placement which results in a more natural feeling after surgery. Patients also benefit as there is a reduced risk of injury to adjacent tissues and risk of infection after robotic surgery is also low. The patient loses less blood due to smaller incisions and the pain is substantially less. The implants have better longevity, thereby, patients’ have better long-term functioning of the knees and improved quality of life.
Informs Dr. I P S Oberoi, Chairperson, Orthopaedics Program & Chief-Robotic Joint Replacement and Arthroscopy Surgery, “With the advent of MRI, we are now able to diagnose knee injuries and problems in a lot of detail, especially diagnosis of ligament tears and rupture are more precise and detailed. The advent of better diagnostic tools and medical technology has paved way for early interventions, thereby, reducing further damage to the knees and improving the patient’s physical condition. However, we are witnessing that due to long years of neglect and apathy towards knee problems more and more people are now having severe problems and are being advised knee replacement surgery, especially patients with advanced stage arthritis.”
He further adds, “Sometimes, patients having arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, also have severe knee deformities. The precision with which the implant is put after robotic surgery is much better even in severely damaged knees. Robotic surgery is a boon to most of the patients having knee arthritis. Younger individuals with knee pain should get investigations in form of MRI and X-ray scans done to see for the damage which have just started happening and if the damage is advanced or progressing, then there are techniques to get them back on to work as fast as possible with robotic computing assisted surgeries.”
Versius Robotic Surgical System in Asian Institute of Medical Sciences
Asian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Faridabad has introduced its first 3D Advanced Minimal Access Surgical Robot in the region-the Versius Robotic Surgical System. The next-generation advanced surgical robot aims to revolutionise the field of surgery in oncology and urology (Kidney Nephrectomy), thoracic surgery, and general surgical procedures such as gall bladder stone, complex hernia among several other complex procedures.
With 3D visualisation, the advanced and efficient robotic solution backed by artificial intelligence and machine learning is designed to empower the surgeon ensuring greater accuracy, precision, and safety offering superior surgical solutions even in inaccessible areas.
Informed Dr N. K. Pandey, Chairman & Managing Director, Asian Hospital said, “Next-generation advanced robotic surgery offers enhanced accuracy with less tissue trauma, minimal blood loss, lesser chance of getting infection and less complication, better mobility and improved early functional recovery besides a shorter hospital stay for the patient after surgery.”
Sharing his views on the next-generation advanced robotic surgery, Dr Pandey said, “Though traditional procedures available for cancer, weight loss, and transplant surgery offer good outcomes, the next-generation advanced surgical robot is minimally invasive and gives accurate 3D visualisation that makes all the difference. Advanced robotic technology aims, and hope that these procedures will enhance accuracy and lessen the chance of infection and consequently further improve surgical outcome.”
Advanced Integrated Robotic System for Spine Surgery in BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital
BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital has introduced an advanced integrated robotic system for spine surgery. The technology utilises artificial intelligence to visualise spinal anatomy during complex surgeries. Robotic surgeries allow data integration which comes handy during these spine surgeries and doctors can customize the surgical plan for individual patients.
The integrated spinal robot is programmed to navigate spinal surgeries. Additionally, this robotic system combines surgical navigation and robotic guidance for spinal surgery, which offers significant advantages to spine surgeons. The system has been designed to facilitate procedural efficiency. Robotic surgery makes the procedure more objective as it is more plan driven.
Dr Puneet Girdhar, Senior Director & Head, Orthopaedic Spine Surgery, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital said, “In today’s advanced medical times robotic spinal surgeries are the safest route for procedures that require extreme precision and accuracy. They not only promise positive outcomes but also involve minimal complications throughout the surgery.”
Dr Girdhar has recently performed 10 complex spinal surgeries using the robotic navigation system with 100% successful outcomes. All of his patients could walk pain-free from day after surgery. One of his recent patients was suffering from severe back pain and severe compression of spinal nerves and difficulty in walking. He was afraid of the surgery, despite that being the only option in his advanced stage of disease.
Currently, Max Healthcare is one of the largest healthcare players in the country with 15 robotic systems across its Network hospitals. More than 4,000 robotic surgeries have been performed at our Network hospitals so far.
BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital has also expanded its Robotic Surgical Program with the introduction of artificial intelligence enabled robotic system for Joint replacement surgeries.
This next generation robotic system for joint replacement works on artificial intelligence and helps surgeons in achieving more precision & accuracy and preserving more natural bone, minimal blood loss and ensuring a well-balanced joint.
Introduction of robot for joint replacement at BLK-Max Hospital will allow patients to benefit from combination of human insight and experience of senior clinicians backed by robust technology. The technology is engineered to replicate a patient’s individual joint structure, allowing for the relief of pain from failed replacements. The robotic device imitates the joints’ regular motion patterns, so minimising any excessive stress on the muscles, nerves, tendons and sinews. Robot aids the surgeon in achieving accuracy, alignment, and balance.
Dr. Bhushan Nariani, Senior Director and Head, Centre for Joint Replacement, BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital said, “This new robotic navigation technology allows the surgeon to pre-plan the surgery by assessing the individual patient’s disease state and predicting the joint stability over the full range of motion. This ensures precision and reduces the chances of malalignment of implants”.

Intuitive deploys 100th surgical systems in India at UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology, Ahmedabad
Sunnyvale, California-headquartered Intuitive recently installed its hundredth robotic-assisted surgical system in India at the UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology, Ahmedabad.
Most of Intuitive’s robotic programmes are installed in leading private and government hospitals, medical education institutes and state government medical colleges across the country. Prior to this most recent milestone, Intuitive has advanced minimally invasive care in India through advanced robotic technology, supported by an innovative and expanding ecosystem of learning, services, and solutions. More than 800 surgeons have been trained on Intuitive’s da Vinci technology and are helping drive the significant increase in its adoption.
“We strive at Intuitive to help Indian surgeons and their care teams improve patient outcomes, improve the patient and care team experience, and lower the total cost to treat,” said Mandeep Singh Kumar, Vice President and General Manager, Intuitive India.
While commenting on the installation of Intuitive’s da Vinci Xi system, Dr. Chirag Doshi, Head, Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology, said, “We are always in the forefront in finding newer ways to offer advanced and affordable healthcare that help improve patient outcomes. With the installation of Intuitive’s da Vinci Xi surgical system, we hope to potentially enhance academic research and residency training programmes in the field of cardiothoracic surgery and continue our efforts towards improving patient care and experience.”
Apollo Delhi Conducts First Robot-Assisted Total Arterial Bypass Surgery in North India
Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi conducted the first robot-assisted total arterial bypass surgery for triple vessel coronary artery disease, the first of its kind in North of India. The surgery was conducted under the supervision of Dr MM Yusuf, Specialist Consultant, Robotics and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, Dr Mukesh Goel, Senior Consultant, Cardiothoracic surgery & Dr Varun Bansal, Consultant, Robotics and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.
Dr MM Yusuf, who led the robot assisted surgery, said, “Robotic assisted CABG is the least invasive cardiac procedure. It is a symbiosis between state-of-the-art technology and surgical expertise. It offers great short and long-term benefits by subjecting patients to minimal cuts, less bleeding, less pain, early recovery and quick return to active life; which is a distant target by open chest surgery. Total arterial bypass surgery also provides best long term outcome with less risk of reintervention later in life. Dr MM Yusuf & his team have been performing this procedure routinely at Apollo Hospitals Chennai over the past 2 years.
Speaking about the procedure, Dr Mukesh Goel said, “While fewer acute heart attack cases are being admitted to hospital emergency units, there is a marked increase in deaths from cardiac arrest at home, probably due to the postponement and delay in seeking medical attention. It is, therefore, important to emphasise that heart patients must not ignore any deterioration in symptoms and/or delay medical attention. Apollo Hospitals have been known to introduce the latest medical technology in India for the benefit of the patients. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery avoids sternal split and aids in a quick recovery”.
Dr Varun Bansal added,” Technology has ushered in a paradigm shift in healthcare. From performing complex surgeries to providing remote care with telehealth, it has brought a massive transformation, taking medical treatment to unimaginable heights. Even though the use of robots in surgery isn’t new, emerging technologies and innovation have expanded their scope to help doctors perform difficult medical procedures and surgeries easily with more precision, comfort and speed.”
CARE Hospitals Hyderabad Performs First Gynaecology Procedure in Asia Pacific Using Robotic-Assisted Surgery
System Hyderabad based CARE Hospitals Group and India Medtronic Private Limited performed the first gynecology (hysterectomy) procedure in Asia-Pacific using Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system. The milestone procedure was performed by the expert clinical team of CARE Hospitals, led by Dr. Manjula Anagani, at the group’s flagship facility located at Banjara Hills.
The patient, a 46-year-old woman, was suffering from prolonged Adenomyosis, a condition that causes the uterus to thicken and enlarge. She underwent a robotic-assisted total hysterectomy procedure where the affected uterus was removed using the Hugo RAS system. CARE becomes the first hospital in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to install this new robotic-assisted surgery system from Medtronic.
Talking about the surgery, Dr. Manjula Anagani said, “Utilizing the new RAS system from Medtronic for hysterectomy, which was APAC’s first gynecological procedure, is a testimony to our dedication to provide high-end clinical care. It is a proud moment for all our teams, and we look forward to using this innovative robotic system to expand access to the powerful benefits of minimally invasive surgery to more patients.”
Elaborating about the Advanced Robotic program, Dr. Nikhil Mathur, Group Chief of Medical Services said” This landmark surgery will open up new opportunities for our team of world-class surgeons to further use the Hugo RAS system in other clinical specialties. We look forward to using this innovative robotic system to expand access to the powerful benefits of minimally invasive surgery to more patients looking for treatment under General Surgery, Urology, Gynecology and more.”
The Hugo RAS system is a modular, multi-quadrant platform designed for a broad range of soft-tissue procedures. It combines wristed instruments, 3D visualization, and Touch Surgery Enterprise, cloud-based surgical video capture and management solution, with dedicated support teams specializing in robotics program optimization, service, and training. It is designed to bring the benefits of minimally invasive surgery —fewer complications, smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to normal activities1–3,† — to more patients around the world. And, in doing so, help address global inequities in access to care.
SSI MANTRA Launches First Indigenous Medical Robotics Surgery System at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute (RGCI), Hyderabad
SS Innovations has launched the SSI Mantra (Multi-Arm Novel Tele Robotic Assistance) Surgical Robotic System), India’s first medical robotics surgery system. The MANTRA system was recently utilised for the first in human pilot study at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute (RGCI), where the surgeons successfully completed 18 complex Urology, Gynaecology and General Surgery procedures in less than a month. While robotic driven surgery first happened in India in 2001, first in AIIMS in 2006 and in RGCI in 2011, this is the first time a completely indigenous robotic surgery system has been developed in India. Dr Srivastava informed that till now 85 LoIs have been received for MANTRA including those from government hospitals. There are 72 systems currently available (2 more are coming) and about 400 surgeons with the relevant training to perform surgeries using the system.
“Robotics shall be the future of surgery, and my vision is to create a technologically advanced system that will be cost-effective, easy to use, and can be applied to all surgical specialities. Thus, benefitting most patients around the world. Compared to conventional surgery, robotic surgery results in smaller incisions, that reduces pain, scarring and leads to quicker recovery.” said Dr. Sudhir P. Srivastava, SSI Mantra and one of the early pioneers in minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery.
Dr. Sudhir Rawal, Medical Director RGCI added, “The dedicated team of engineers and scientists at SS Innovations have been working hard under Dr. Srivastava’s guidance for the past few years to develop a cost-effective robotic surgical system. I congratulate them on this launch. I have been closely involved in the clinical trials myself, and the results have been outstanding.”

2014 Jeep Grand CherokeeJill Moore - Morris, IL03/24/2017
I love the features!! and this car has plenty. From the keyless entry system for the doors and hatch to the Bluetooth and navigation to the adaptive cruise. It just seems that Jeep thought this process through thoroughly. I continue to find new features that make me say........"How smart was that!"
I need an SUV because I travel a lot so I need to haul around a mini household.
To top it all off the vehicle is sharp looking!!!
I do love my Grand Cherokee!
2015 Jeep Grand CherokeeScott Liska - Commerce City, CO08/03/2016
I purchased the Altitude edition because of the black 20-inch wheels, great looks and all of the features I wanted. It's not overloaded but has exactly what I needed. The Grand Cherokee is one of the few SUVs remaining - not a CUV. With the V-6, I average more than 22 mpg and has plenty of power for passing and towing. Only downside is the automatic shifter. Recall isn't enough.
