Officials with Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics and The Louis and Peaches Owen Heart Hospital have unveiled a children&#8217;s robotics exhibit at the Discovery Science Place that opens to the public on Saturday. The exhibit is designed to give visitors a hands-on opportunity to learn more about how robotics helps heal patients.<\/p>\n<p>Hospital officials say technology like the da Vinci robot makes a surgeon&#8217;s movements more precise, giving more range of motion and providing enhanced 3-D visualization of the operating field.  They say it also improves dexterity, but ultimately, the surgeon makes all the movements.  From an educational standpoint, according to a news release, &#8220;this exhibit will show people how robotic technology and the human mind can combine to create powerful advancements in medical care. We are making steps towards non-invasive surgery that would not be possible without robotic technology.&#8221;  Officials said the Trinity Mother Frances Foundation sponsored the exhibit to help children and parents better understand the direction that technology is taking medicine and hopefully inspire a young person to consider medicine as a career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; It&#8217;s a way to celebrate the seventh year of performing heart and other surgeries using robotic-assisted technology.
