                             How open source has changed the hardware environment

      While open source software is a relatively well-known concept by comparisons, the idea of open source hardware isn’t quite as publicized. In fact, few people are aware that there are quite a few organizations offering open source hardware, which meansthey have made all information pertaining to their products freely available, including designs and schematics, bill of materials information, and printed circuit board layout data. Generally, open source software is used in the original design, which provides evenmore benefits.

      The driving ideology behind open source hardware is that anyone should have the freedom to:

• Use the device for any purpose.

• Study how it works and make any changes.

• Redistribute the design of the device and the device itself.

• Enhance the design as well as the device and make those improvements freely available to the public so all can benefit.

                                                           Software


      We take software for granted, but it's obviously crucial to getting any work done on a computer. It's what makes computers and smartphones and tablets (and these days, for that matter, cars, televisions, and microwave ovens) actually do things. Without it, your computer or other device is simply a case with nice buttons and lights.

                                             Smart Greenhouse

Control the light, watering, temperature, and humidity of your greenhouse – automatically.

      Smart Greenhouse, one of three professional category winner in the 2014 IoT Developer Challenge, is an Internet of Things (IoT) device and application that monitors and controls a greenhouse environment. The concept for Smart Greenhouse came into being after the core team – Dzmitry Yasevich, Pavel Vervenko, and Vladimir Redzhepov – attended JavaOne Russia in April 2013. There, the team saw presentations of a smart house, various robots, and other devices, all controlled by Java.

      Yasevich notes, “We were impressed by these solutions and had an idea to do something like that. Pavel Vervenko suggested making an automated greenhouse. Everyone liked the idea!”.

      First, the team selected the hardware. “We started to use Raspberry Pi as a basis”, Yasevich says. “It is a compact but fullfedged computer with 700 MHz and memory at 512 MB. This system costs around $35”.

      However, early on, a safety concern arose. “Current under high voltage passes in the greenhouse, and there is an automatic watering system, so it was necessary to properly consider all the aspects related to insulation”, Yasevich says.

Robotic surgery linked to 144 deaths in the US Surgical robots allow doctors to improve recovery time and minimise scarring 

    A study into the safety of surgical robots has linked the machines' use to at least 144 deaths and more than 1,000 injuries over a 14-year period in the US. 
    The events included broken instruments falling into patients' bodies, electrical sparks causing tissue burns and system errors making surgery take longer than planned. The report notes that the figures represent a small proportion of the total number of robotic procedures. But it calls for fresh safety measures.
    "Despite widespread adoption of robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery, a non-negligible number of technical difficulties and complications are still being experienced during procedures," the study States.
    "Adoption of advanced techniques in design and operation of robotic surgical systems may reduce these preventable incidents in the future." Robotic surgery can reduce the risk of infections and help patients heal more quickly.
      More accidents
   The work was carried out by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Chicago's Rush University Medicai Center.
    Their paper says 144 deaths, 1,391 injuries and 8,061 device malfunctions were recorded out of a total of more than 1.7 million robotic procedures carried out between January 2000 and December 2013.
    This was based on reports submitted by hospitais, patients, device manufacturers and others to the US Food and Drug Administration, and the study notes that the true number could be higher.
     Surgical robot 
     Surgeons face the risk of broken parts causing injury or lengthening procedures.
    Its authors say the number of injuries and deaths per procedure has remained relatively constant since 2007. But due to the fact that the use of robotic systems is increasing "exponentially", they add, this means that the number of accidents is increasing every year.
    They highlight that when problems do occur, people are several times more likely to die if the surgery involves their heart, lungs, head and/or neck rather than gynaecological and urological procedures.
    They acknowledge that the data does not pinpoint why, but suggest it is because the former are more complex types of operations for which robots are less commonly used, so there is less experience and expertise available.
    The researchers did not, however, compare accident rates with similar operations in which robots were not used. Their study has not been peer reviewed.
