Robot Doctors on Mars

For some time there has been an increasing use of robotic surgeons in hospitals however now the concept is being brought to Mars travel. Theoretically when sending a crew to Mars one of them would have to be a doctor incase of any medical emergencies however now we have the possibility of using a robotic sugeon controlled by a real doctor on Earth. NASA recently tested the concept in a a C9, one of the planes that creates a feeling of no gravity.

I thought this was interesting because as we get closer and closer to the reality of sending people to Mars the possiblities of technology increase. The market for new RD increase as well as the possibilty of amazing discoveries.
