Robots nurses

It is very common to see movies at the cinema where robots become almost human, they end up attacking the company, or save big trouble for their human owners, as the two famous characters C3PO and R2D2 from the Star Wars; but today is no longer science fiction to see robots interact man of various kinds, especially in Japan, where there are from receptionists to robots dancepartners.

Each day that passes, the men seem to become more dependent on electronics. Since beginning her routine wake turning the computer as part of an essential habit to start your day, check their various email accounts, searching for their friends in chat rooms, turn on their phones, if the same has not been served clock, watch television the way to work listening to hundreds of songs on theirmini players, they take money from the ATM, bought virtual pets, robot dogs, and many other things.

Today, the novelty of the robots and advanced technology is not just a fad for some, but are engaging in basic health services are important as hospitals and clinics, with the new Nurse Robot.

Although it seems a lie, that is the reality that exists in many hospitals in Japan, the U.S. andEngland. Far from that appearance so well known, the white uniform, the new proposal focuses on a nurse robot that meets some basic functions which include: blood tests, receive patients, lead them in the hospital, bring into the room waiting, and more.

In Japan, Aizu Wakamatsu in the hospital, the hospital has purchased three robot nurses or receptionists robot, as some call it. These nurseswill welcome people, guided by the hospital, and also perform simple tests, which is one of the qualities he likes his patients, entertain with several videos that show a monitor that takes into his chest.

And not just because there are nurses, but also doctors robot. In the United States at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, there are currently two robots, one called RoboDoc, physician, and Nursebot,the nurse.

Its mission is to serve as support and companionship to people in hospitals and especially the elderly living at home without any company. It is the result of a long project involving American engineers at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania. And proved very efficient and so far it has fulfilled its taskof serving as a support and companionship to sick people.

Patients have taken a good way this new invention, many people laugh when they see it, and have confessed that they find more interesting and fun to interact with the robot than human doctors. "People love it. I was surprised to see how much our patients enjoy the remote video interactions via the robot, "said Dr. Louis Kavoussi,professor of urology at Johns Hopkins and a pioneer in robotic surgery.

Robots are not seen as a replacement for the real work of doctors or nurses, but rather as a link between the patient and themselves. Can be managed from anywhere, as long as the user has access to a control station with a computer connected to Internet and software "mobile robot" company that produces it.
