Robotic surgery involves the use of less-invasive surgical methods, which are “procedures performed through tiny incisions”.
The earliest robots used in the military dates back to the 19th century, where automatic weapons were on the rise due to developments in mass production.
The first automated weapons were used in World War I, including radio-controlled, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
[3][4] Since the invention, the technology of ground and aerial robotic weapons continues to develop, it transitioned to become part of modern warfare.
To allow for data collection and a controlled research, the robot is always in communications with scientists and engineers on Earth.
For the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Curiosity rover, which is part of their Mars exploration program, the communication between the rover and the operators are made possible by “an international network of antennas that…permits constant observation of spacecraft as the Earth rotates on its own axis”.
