Abstract

"This Just In" piece on the increasing number of Maine businesses who employ robotic technology. Timothy Gato, operations manager of South Portland's Department of Parks, Recreation, and Public Works, said the use of hydraulic arms has increased the efficiency of its curbside trash pickup program. At Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, a Da Vinci Surgical System robot can perform gastric bypass surgery with better precision than a human surgeon. Other Maine businesses and public service organizations use robots for dangerous tasks, educational purposes, and risky police operations.
