Humanoid Robots Begin Working in Hospitals: Assist with Patient Care and Surgery

Hospitals across several countries have begun deploying humanoid robots to assist with patient care, medication delivery, and even surgical procedures. These robots, equipped with advanced AI and precise manipulation capabilities, can interact naturally with patients, read medical charts, and assist healthcare workers with routine tasks. In surgical applications, robots work alongside human surgeons, providing steady, precise assistance that reduces procedure times and improves outcomes. The robots can operate 24/7 without fatigue, helping address healthcare worker shortages while maintaining high standards of care. Early results show improved patient satisfaction and reduced medical errors. However, the integration raises questions about the future role of human healthcare workers and the need for new training programs. The technology represents a significant step toward the widespread use of robots in healthcare settings.
