Robots to replace human workers in hospitals, may conduct surgeries

India TV News  

In coming years, it will be very frequent to watch robots in hospitals that could complete all the tasks to diminish workload, said a latest research. Robots can imitate human motions as well as effectively coordinate their actions with humans even with surgeries, a research has found. However, the goal of the use of technology is not to remove human expertise from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot's particular skills and benefits, the researchers said. Nearly 70 per cent of the time the actions of the robotic arms were "biologically inspired," which indicated that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behaviour, the researchers observed. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behaviour, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms, the study concluded, in the paper published in the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI.

Hospitals embrace expensive robotic surgeries

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: An increasing number of hospitals are carrying out robot assisted surgeries, although expensive, as they offer numerous advantages to both patients and surgeons. After KIMS Hospital and Care Hospitals announced the launch of fully automated robotic systems in the past week, even the government hospital, MNJ Cancer Hospital, will start offering robotic assisted surgeries in a few months after …
