New robotic technology that can remotely treat casualties of a terrorist attack or major incident has taken a step closer to entering full production after it impressed at a special Ministry of Defence (MoD) event. Researchers from the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), Sheffield Robotics and Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, put its 'MediTel' uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV) through its paces at BattleLab, an initial testing ground for new technologies that can be deployed in hazardous locations. Design engineers took just nine months to come up with a fully working prototype, leveraging the power of PTC's Creo 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) solution to take a standard UGV platform and two robotic arms to create, what many are calling, the next generation 'Robo Doctor'. One of three novel telexistence technologies funded through a two-phase £2.3 million innovation competition run by the Defence Securi
