Through <\/span>a website<\/span><\/a> and a paper revealed at a pair of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) conferences Valdastri and collaborator Akos Ledeczi, Associate Professor of Computer Engineering\u00a0(<\/span>http:\/\/www.isis.vanderbilt.edu\/akos<\/span><\/a>) recently made the medical capsule hardware and software open-source. By providing a hardware and software component library and the tools to make their composition easy, ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ opens up the field of medical capsule robots to engineers and scientists who have great ideas but aren\u2019t hardware or software experts, plus makes development costs far more affordable.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
