Pentagon has decided to pay $12 million dollars to develop a robotic trauma pod. The idea is to get high-quality medical care to as close to the actual battlefield as possible, thus making the medic aid more available to soldiers.
The development of this "trauma pod" may take a decade before we can see this sort of thing in war zones. Additionally to being able to carry enough equipment, the robot also needs to be strong enough to handle gunfire.
The robot is to be operated remotely by a real surgeon.
