GT6MK3 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Does it run Megasquirt? (I'm aware of the lame double entendre type of wrongness of that, but, ahh well...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Doubtful! Hopefully it's done to flight critical standards....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerguzzi Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Hello Nick All the best but I am sure they had the Mk1 in the Tower of London?

JohnD Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) "Surgical Robot" bit of a misnomer. A human surgeon operates(!) it, and its more like an endoscope, that has stabilising and targeting controls from the computer. Compare with Fly-by-wire aircraft. Bests, Nick! Tell your anaesthetist you know me! John Edited June 12, 2018 by JohnD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks John. There are quite a few interesting videos on Youtube - stitching the skin back on grapes and the like...... I started watching one earlier - then decided "maybe later" . I will drop your name to the anaesthestist.... Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
