crowned this year s winners. now on bbc news, click. this week, we look at the latest tech being used to combat cancer. lara hits the lab to see how ai and robotics are being harnessed to create new treatments for the condition. we uncover the new blood monitoring system aiming to give cancer patients more independence. ijust fell in love with the machine. it gave me a little bit of control back as well. we meet the robots with a sense of touch. so, how did you sleep last night? did you sleep well? and spencer looks at how a video game engine can make movies. we can move the shard. laughter ..which does make me feel more powerful. according to britain s biggest cancer charity, someone is diagnosed with cancer here in the uk every two minutes. despite massive progress, many treatments are still incredibly harsh and not always successful. however, we now have technologies like ai and robotics which are helping us to discover more effective drugs with fewer side effects qu

standard cancer therapies can be incredibly tough to go through. and one of the great new hopes for kinder treatment is immunothera py. that s drugs that work alongside your own immune system to kill cancer cells. scientists here at labgenius in south east london are harnessing the power of robotics and ai. they re hoping it ll help them find new immunotherapy treatments and make existing ones better. there s a lot going on in here some of it by automated machines, some of it by people. that s right. so, the different thing about what this machine is doing, and what you might envisage or see happening in a normal lab, is all of the experiments have actually been designed by an algorithm. and all of the data you re using is your own data? that s absolutely right. and actually, that is a really, really key point. we want to build models that are predictive of certain biological features of interest, and the challenging thing for us is that data that s required to train those
