Medical Applications of Robots
Robots have been used a lot more in the medical field in hospitals. Since robots posses such useful control units, programming terminals, and process-oriented software of many medical applications. They have mainly been used by surgeons during operations on patients. These specific robots are controlled and programmed by doctors ahead of time so that the robots know which procedures and tasks they need to complete in order for the surgeries to be successful. These robots can be controlled from a distance and some are designed to for surgery that requires making smaller cuts. Therefore throughout the process, the robots do not hurt the patient. Today, robots have been made to also have the ability to remove deadly cancers from the human body. The robots provide 3D views and enhanced magnification for extra assistance for the surgeons. Robots in these hospitals are also designed to hold the surgical instruments needed for the operation. There are many other types of robots that can be used in hospitals: therapeutic, bionic, and nano-robots. Mobile robots have helped patients with healthcare because they have been useful for being able to remain on task without human intervention. They are controlled usually by joysticks, PDA touch-screens, an ultra-wide band (UWB) radio frequency identification systems, and teleconferencing systems. The UWB allow the robots to follow physicians within the entire hospital, and the teleconferencing systems were tested on mobile robots and then sent to patient rooms. Researchers have discovered that different robots hospital-wide have been used for platforming shelves to arrange old medicine for patients. Mobile robots are programmed to follow their physicians in the hospitals and patient rooms if the robots are needed for anymore surgical procedures. They help doctors with prescriptions, delivering meals, and carrying out blood samples to the labs as a part of their everyday routines.
