Can robots handle your healthcare? By Nicola Davies.[1]
The demand for healthcare robots will rise due to an ageing population and a shortage of carers. Japan is a leading country in the field of healthcare robots. They develop their robots in close coordination with elderly and patients.
Safety is an important aspect for healthcare robots. They must be absolutely fool proof. In order to safely operate around humans, robots need to feature things like quick reflexes, communication capabilities and interaction capabilities via video and audio. This translates into a wide range of sensors, cameras and actuators the robot needs to have. Next to a robot’s features, their looks are also important. Robots that try to impersonate actual humans, but still show imperfections can make users uneasy.
An area in which robots can do a better job than humans is being consistent in the quality of the care that is provided. After a long difficult shift, humans can be prone to errors while robots are not affected by exhaustion or other emotions.
For simple routine healthcare tasks, robots can be a good solution.
