Robotics in Nursing Care

N. J. Vasudevan

Abstract


Human nurses can have peace of mind. Robotic jobs are safe and secure but a little help has come to the rescue to do multiple nursing tasks for them. Robot nurses helps nurses in hospitals. They have face recognition (cameras), voice recognition (microphones), arms and hands, and talks (speaker) with the patient, doctor, and nurses in eight human languages. Another responsibility is talking with those patients who do not have any visitors. Robots will occupy as their company, just carry on the conversation and make them happy. The nursing robot system is designed to serve bedridden patients by performing simple services such as operating electrical appliances or bringing patients besides according to the patient’s spoken request. The nursing robot is designed not supposed to perform any medical treatment to the patient. The workplace of such a robot would be generally confined to one room, either in a patient’s room or in the hospital. This definition is important, since the constant presence of the patient as a supervisor of the robot’s activity greatly facilitates.
