It describes several robots that are being developed to assist nurses and care for patients, including Robot nurse that can recognize faces and speak multiple languages, RIBA which can lift and move patients, and Cody which can assist with bathing. The benefits of robotic assistants are also summarized, such as helping with heavy lifting, monitoring patients, and preserving dignity. Concerns about costs, privacy, and not replacing humans are also mentioned.

1. SEMINAR
ON
ROBOTIC NURSING
PREPARED BY:
MR.SAGAR MASNE

2. INTRODUCTION
 Human nurses can have peace of mind. Their jobs are
secure but a little help has come to the rescue to do
most of the boring nursing tasks for them. Robot
nurse helps nurses in hospitals.
 She has face recognition(camera), voice
recognition(microphone) arms and hands. She talks
(speaker) with the patient, doctor and nurses in 8
human languages.
 Another responsibility is talking with those patient
who do not have any visitors. She their company, just
carry on the conversation and make them happy

3.  The nursing robot system is designed to serve
bedridden patients by performing simple services
such as operating electrical appliances or bringing
patient’s bedside according to the patients spoken
request.
 The nursing robot, however , is not supposed to apply
any medical treatment to the patient. The workplace
of such a robot would be usually confined to one room,
either in a hospital or in the patient’s room.
 This definition is important, since the constant
presence of the patient as a supervisor for the robots
activity greatly facilitates

4. WHAT IS ROBOT?
A-reprogrammable, multifunctional, manipulator
designed to make material , parts, tools or specialized
devices through various programmed motion for the
performance of a variety of tasks.

5. CHRACTERISTICS OF ROBOT
 MOBILITY: It possesses some from of mobility
 PROGRAMMABILITY: It can be programmed to
accomplish a large variety of tasks. After being
programmed, it operates automatically.
 SENSORS: able to sense the environment and give the
useful feedback to the device.
 MECHANICAL CAPABILITY: Enabling it to act on its
environment rather than merely functions as a data
processing or computational device(a robot is a
machine).
 FLEXIBILITY: It can operate using a range of
programs and transports material in a variety of ways.

6. HISTROY OF ROBOT
 The word robot from the word ROBOTA meaning
compulsory LABOR
 Defined by the robotic institutes of America as a
machine in the from of a human being that
performs the mechanical functions of a human
being but lacks sensitivity ..
 Issac Asimov further elucidated the role of robotics in
1940 through short stories.

7. ISSAC ASIMOV’S THREE LAW OF
ROBOTICS
 FIRST LAW: a robot may not injure a human being or,
through inaction, allow a human being to come to
harm.
 SECOND LAW: a robot must obey order given it by
human beings, except when such orders would conflict
with the first law.
 THIRD LAW: a robot must protect its own existence
as long as such protection does not conflict with the
first or second law

8. APPLICATION OF ROBOT
Industry
Animatronics
Safety
Space
Healthcare

9. ROBOTICS IN HEALTHCARE
 By 2050 one in four people in the world will
be over the age of 65. The NHS will be
unable to cope with the likely increases in
chronic illness.
 To meet these challenges, health and local
authority services must reconfigure, placing
greater emphasis on community care and
the effective use of technology. One
promising technology is robotics.

10. ROBOTICS
 Robotics is the engineering science and
technology of robots, and their design,
manufacture, application, and structural
disposition.
 Robotics is related to electronics, mechanics
and software.
 The term robotics was coined by Issac
Asimov in his 1941

11. WHY ROBOTICS?
Compared with humans, robots are quicker to train,
cheaper to maintain, easier to refuel and repair and
less prone to be bored by repetitive tasks.
They could help the elderly and chronically ill to
remain independent, reducing the need for careers
and the demand for care homes.

12. ADVANTAGES
• Addressing cognitive decline: for example reminding
patient to drink, take medicine or of an appointment.
• Enabling patients and caregivers to interact thereby
reducing the frequency of personal visits
• Collecting data and monitoring patients, emergencies
such as heart failure and high blood sugar level , could be
avoided.
• Assisting people with domestic tasks- many give up
independent living because of arthritis.
• Accuracy: robot once instructed can perform a task
without fatigue and with accuracy, even after long hour of
operation

13.  1.Help with heavy lifting. Caregiver injuries are
common and lead to missed work for the caregiver
and sometimes leaves an older adult without a
caregiver.
 2. Serve as a communication tool. Technology is
changing at record speeds.. If an older adult can’t
(because of low vision or dementia, for example)
or doesn’t want to learn to use the latest machine,
they can simply ask the robot to serve that
function. Imagine: “Robot, call my daughter,” and
the robot makes the connection with Skype or
FaceTime-type technology.

14.  3. Provide reminders. To take medications, go to
appointments, eat, exercise, and anything else
relevant to each individual person. Sure, people
make lists but too often they forget to check them.
4. Help with monitoring. Home monitoring has
proven benefits in diseases such as heart failure
and diabetes. Robots might monitor many medical
conditions and relay that data back to a nurse or
doctor who could then have a more informed
meeting — in person, or via robo-chat — with the
patient.

15.  5. Preserve dignity-
People find help with toileting humiliating – bad if
from a stranger, often worse from a family member.
 6. Promote independence-
A robot that helped with basic chores might delay or
diminish the need for unwanted human help.

16.  7.Decrease burden on family and friends. Many of
my patients report that their greatest source of distress
is the burden they feel they place on their families. If
robots could help so that families spent more time
enjoying each other’s company,
 8. Fill care gaps. many humans avoid the very old
and even the most devoted family and friends have
other things to attend to.

17.  9. Offer endless patience. When a person has
dementia, they often ask the same question over and
over. Most humans lose patience answering 5, 15 or 40
times. A robot doesn’t.
 10. Provide companionship. This is the most
controversial function of robots. But the goal is not to
replace humans; it’s to SUPLLEMENT AND
COMPLEMENT them. Granted there are many un-
and underemployed humans as well as many humans
in need of care, and a better solution would be to more
appropriately reward, economically and socially, the
very challenging work of care giving

18. DISADVANTAGES
 1.COST OF THEM: Like anything else, with
good comes bad. The few disadvantages the
Nursebots have are what ultimately make
them such a work in progress that won’t hit
mass production for a little while longer.
One disadvantage of Nursebots is the cost of
them. Nursebots are not being produced in
multiples anywhere yet.

19.  SURVEILLANCE :This surveillance could lead to
ethical issues of privacy. “Moreover, what if the
patient agreed to take the medicine, and then
forgot? Should the robot stay and monitor the
patient until the medicine is taken, or is that a
violation of privacy? When and how should the
robot inform the doctor if anything goes wrong?”
Many people will most likely have an issue with
these robots monitoring a person’s daily activities
on something very similar to a surveillance
camera.

20. 3.COMPARISION WITH HUMAN:
One last disadvantage of the
Robotic Nurses that brings great
debate to this topic is the fact that
many people feel a robot will never
compare to a human.

21. USE OF ROBOTIC IN HEALTHCARE
Surgery
Procedure
Treatment (pre and post)
planning
Simulation
Guiding

22.  RIBA: RUKEN-TRI collaboration centre for human
interactive robot research (RTC) establishes as a
joint collaboration project by RIKEN and Tokai
rubber industries LTD (TRI) has developed a
nursing care assistant robot named RIBA(robot for
interactive body assistance). RIBA is the first robot
that can lift up or set down a real human from or to
bed or wheelchair. RIBA does not using its very
strong human like arm and by novel tectile
guidance method using high accuracy tectile
sensors.

24. ROBOTIC HEALTH ASSISTANT:
 A robotic care giver can handle the laundry and
household chores, while the patient is sleeping
and the patients awakes would be greeted by kind
humanlike voice.
 If the patient ambulatory, the robot can assist with
getting the patient moving. Many elderly patients
take multiple medicine allowing for mistakes in
taking the right dose at night time.
 A caregiver robot could make sure that medicine
requirement is met. for those failing eyesight, the
robot could read to the them.

26.  GIRAFFPLUS: In swenden resrecher have developed
an assistant called “Giraffplus” a humanoid robot that
serve as a vacuum cleaner, standing mirror a video chat
android that stands in for family time and doctor
visists and health metrics monitor that can measure a
record key variables such as a blood pressure and
tempreture.
 Giraff consists of a network of sensors which can
measure blood pressure or detect if someone falls. The
data then interpreted in term of activities, health and
well being, such as if the person is relaxed or need to
go to bed. Even can trigger alerts or reminder to a
healthcare provider

27.  Giraff is a telepresence robot that can move around the
home while connecting online with a caregiver or
family member.reasercher
 at the university of Hertfordshire have been working
on a social robot that collaborated with caregiver and
relatives to support the elderly so they can maintain a
independent life. This type of mobile service robot can
be helpful in home. And community care
environments.
 Where they perform simple tasks for elderly users,
such as providing mobility support and fetching or
carrying item.

29. CARE-O-BOT 4:
What makes the robot unique is that they are not only
focusing on physical assistance but also on social
assistance. By offering stimulating and engaging in
empathic interaction, they increasing social
connectivity preventing social isolation and loneliness.
Their care-o-bot 4 is programmed to be charming, to
express emotion and to follow the rules of etiquette.
The objective to remove cold exterior of a robot by
introducing empathy. Using simple gesture and
emotions

30. To accomplish this a set of cartoon like
eye were developed , which appear on
LCD display. The robot is programmed
to use these eyes to show expression
related to the circumstances.
 If someone has forgotten to take their
medicine the eyes will be look like sad
and the robot will explain why.

32. CODY: There is lot can to be done around the
home bedside take care of the individuals. A bed
bath where the nurse or family member uses a
soapy sponge to clean off patients skin, can
actually be an awkward social situation, making
both the caregiver and patient uncomfortable.
 Having a robot carrying out hygiene tasks offers
huge advantages. Patient are given better privacy
and independence , and nurses and caregiver who
find the bed baths embarrassing are provided
relief.

33.  Cody is robotic nurse designed to give bath
to elderly.
 The team at the Georgia institute of
technology designed a robot which is
programmed to apply gentle pressure while
washing patient as a solution both to the
embarrassment of receiving bathing help
from another human as well as to the
anticipated increase in demand of nursing
services for the elderly.

35. HYBRID ASSISTIVE LIMB (HAL): cyber dyne
has developed the hybrid assistive limb(HAL),
which is robotic exoskeleton that could greatly
improve the mobility of elderly or disabled people
who wear it.
 HAL is expected to be widely used in various
application including support to assist the
mobility of the elderly with muscle weakness and
the people with impaired motor functions.
Therefore we can expect tp see robotic devices
become the caregiver of the future.

37. ROBOTIC NURSING ASSISTANT (RONA) SYSTEM:
In 2009, Hstar Technologies launched a research
project designed to address the numerous
technological and clinical challenges faced by such
healthcare practitioners. To develop a human-safe,
heavy-lifting robotic system that is useful in any
clinical environment.
Robotic Patient Lifting System—an autonomous
robotic nursing assistant capable of helping
healthcare providers maneuver and lift patients
weighing up to 500 pounds.

39.  Features and Benefits
 Rona will deliver a positive increase in benefits
commonly associated with traditional safe patient
lifting methods, including:
 Reduced incidence of clinician workplace injuries,
associated workers' compensation claims and lost work
time
 Fewer patient falls and injuries due to improper or
unsafe lifting
 Improved clinician staff retention and satisfaction
 Improved patient satisfaction
 Increased patient referrals

40. RONA OFFERS OTHER DISTINCT ADVANTAGES
Mobility and maneuverability
Telepresence support
Patient safety
Employee injury, worker
compensation, and premature
retirement reduction.

43. CONCLUSION
 The development of medical welfare robot is not
necessarily harmful rather than it can be promoted
since it used in providing health care services are
beneficial to people with disabilities and incurable
diseases.
 It is an important issue in nursing practice to
recognize and live with advanced sciences.
