Send medicine
Robots carrying drugs can replace nurses to send meals, cases, tests and so on. The well-known robot is Help Mate of TRC Company in the United States.
Mobile patient
Mobile patient robots mainly help nurses move or transport paralyzed and disabled patients, such as PAM robots in Britain;
Clinical medical treatment
Clinical medical robots, including surgical robots and diagnostic and therapeutic robots, can perform precise surgery or diagnosis, such as WAP RU-4 robot used to diagnose chest tumors in Japan. American scientists are developing a surgical robot "Da Vinci System", which has been certified by the US Food and Drug Administration. It has four mechanical tentacles. Under the control of doctors, the "Da Vinci System" accurately completed the heart valve repair surgery and cancer tissue resection surgery. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States plans to conduct medical robot operation experiments in its underwater laboratory and space shuttle. By then, doctors can operate underwater and alien operations in front of computers on the ground.
American medical robots will also be used in the military field. In 2005, the US military invested US$ 6.5438+0.2 million to research "Battlefield Trauma Treatment System". This robot device is placed in tanks and armored vehicles. In wartime, robots can perform simple operations on the injured and stabilize their injuries for rescue through the instructions issued by doctors at the headquarters.
Robots for the disabled
Robots for the disabled, also called rehabilitation robots, can help the disabled to recover their independent living ability, such as the Prab command system in the United States.
Riman
British scientists are developing a nursing robot, which can be used to share the heavy and trivial nursing work of nurses. The newly developed nursing robot will help medical staff to confirm the identity of patients and accurately distribute the needed drugs. In the future, nursing robots can also check the patient's temperature, clean the ward, and even help doctors know the patient's condition in time through video transmission.
Medical teaching robot
Medical teaching robot is an ideal teaching aid. American medical staff are currently using a teaching robot named Noel, which can simulate pregnant women who are about to give birth and even talk and scream. It is helpful to improve the cooperation and on-the-spot reaction of obstetricians and gynecologists by simulating real delivery.
