Researchers are developing 3D structural-sensing robots to handle healthcare tasks
Robots that could take on basic healthcare tasks to support the work of doctors and nurses may be the way of the future. Who knows, maybe a medical robot can prescribe your medicine someday? That s the idea behind 3D structural-sensing robots being developed and tested at Simon Fraser University by Woo Soo Kim, associate professor in the School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering. The recent pandemic demonstrates the need to minimize human-to-human interaction between healthcare workers and patients, says Kim, who authored two recent papers on the subject - a perspective on the technology and a demonstration of a robots usefulness in healthcare.
