The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is exploring a new robotic concept that navigates the human body to locate wounds and apply lifesaving treatment, giving injured frontline troops a better chance to survive until they reach a hospital.
Called Medics Autonomously Stopping Hemorrhage (MASH), the system relies on artificial intelligence to guide advanced sensors to a wound and autonomously apply clotting and healing materials.
In a practical application, medical crews would make a small incision in a soldier’s torso, allowing MASH to deploy its robotic components to temporarily stitch critical injuries.
