Robots are being designed to assist nurses in healthcare rather than replace them. The document discusses several robots that are being developed to help with tasks like patient lifting, monitoring, and rehabilitation. Robots described include those that can assist with walking, balance training, patient transfers, telepresence nursing assistants, and companion robots. While robots may help with some tasks, they are not meant to replace the human connection provided by nurses.

ASSIST NURSES,NOT REPLACE
THEM”

6. robotics
• the branch of technology that deals
with the design, construction,
operation, and application of robots
• computer system for their control ,
sensory feedback and information
processing

7. ROBOT
A machine that
• looks and acts like a
human being
• can do the work of a
person
automatically or
under the control of
a computer

8. Robots in health care: what’s in store
for the future
“Da Vinci Surgical System”
the first robotic device to perform
surgical procedures

9. Growth of Surgical Robotics in
India
• First robot-assisted
surgical procedure took
place at Delhi hospital
(2002).
• India currently has over
50 surgical robots and it
aims to install 100 robots
across the nation by 2018.
• Till now, it has trained
360 surgeons and hopes
to train another 100 in
days to come.

10. • An estimated 700 robotic-assisted surgeries in a month
are conducted.
• In 2015, approximately 190 surgeons performed more
than 4,000 robot-aided procedures in the areas of
cardiac, urology, thoracic, gynecology, head and neck,
vascular, pediatric and bariatric (weight loss).

11. Surgical robotics offers clear benefits
• assures a healthier post-operative life
• causes minimal loss of blood
• quicker healing of wounds
• reduced pain and discomfort
• shorter hospital stays
• faster recovery time
• minimal scarring
• reduce the risk of infection

13. Quadriplegic Regains Control, Independence
With Robot Helper
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of
Technology recently developed a way to
give robots the sense of touch using
artificial skin, which can dramatically
improve the lives of people with severe
disabilities .

17. Toyota’s Healthcare Assistant
The Walk Training Assist Robot

18. • It mounts onto a
paralyzed leg and
detects movement of
the hips through
sensors at the thigh
and foot.
• It helps the knee
swing forward and the
leg move forward to
facilitate walking.

19. Toyota’s Healthcare Assistant
• It guides the leg to bend
and move forward
• It can support a patient's
weight.
• It monitors metrics such
as joint angels so
physicians can easily
track a patient's progress.
Independent Walk
Assist

20. Toyota’s Healthcare Assistant
The Balance Training Assist

21. • It is a two-wheeled balancing game
• It displays one of three games (tennis,
soccer or basketball) on a monitor
• The patient makes moves in the
game by shifting his or her weight on
the robot.

22. Toyota’s Healthcare Assistant
The Patient Transfer Assist

23. • It has weight-supporting arms and a mobile
platform that helps move a patient, from bed to
the toilet and back.
• It is intended to be gentle and create an
experience similar to being carried by a person.

26. RP-VITA

27. RP-VITA
Physician interact with patients

28. TRINA
Tele-robotic intelligent nursing assistant

29. Ro-bear
• RO-BEAR, is
capable of
performing tasks
such as lifting a
patient from a bed
into a wheelchair

30. RO-BEAR

31. Rona
Robotic nursing assistant system

32. • RoNA is mobile and omnidirectional: with mecanum
wheels, RoNA can move in any direction, work in
confined spaces, and navigate areas where many
portable lifting systems cannot go.
• Telepresence support RoNA can work side by side
with a trained nurse

33. • Patient Safety RoNA is
an intelligent, learning
system, able to sense
center of gravity
during the patient lift
and automatically
adjust.
• Reduce employee
injury.
• Improved patient
satisfaction

34. RIBA
“Robot for Interactive Body Assistance.”
• It looks like a big
teddy bear, which is
meant to calm
patients

35. RIBA
• RIBA can lift a person up to 60 kg from a lying
or sitting position and move them to another
location.
• Has strong arms with advanced tactile sensors
that prevent slipping.
• Is equipped with two cameras and two
microphones so it can follow cues from an
operator.

36. ACTROID-F
• This robot is modeled after a human female
and can move its eyes, eyebrows, mouth,
head, neck.
• It interacts with patients as a human.
• It can help patients combat loneliness
• The female version is so realistic that, when
tested, some subjects couldn’t tell the
difference between Actroid-F and the human
sitting next to her at first.

38. PARO-THERAPEUTIC ROBOT
World's Most Therapeutic Robot certified by Guinness
World Records

39. • PARO is an advanced interactive robot
• It allows the documented benefits of animal
therapy to be administered to patients in
hospitals and extended care
• found to reduce patient stress
• stimulates interaction between patients and
caregivers
• has a Psychological effect on patients,
improving their relaxation and motivation

40. • improves the socialization of patients with each
other and with caregivers
• responds as if it is alive, moving its head and
legs, making sounds, and showing your
preferred behavior.
• imitates the voice of a real baby harp seal.

41. • PARO has five kinds of sensors: tactile, light,
audition, temperature, and posture sensors,
with which it can perceive people and its
environment.
• can learn to behave in a way that the user
prefers, and to respond to its new name.
• For example, if you stroke it every time you
touch it, PARO will remember your previous
action and try to repeat that action to be
stroked. If you hit it, PARO remembers its
previous action and tries not to do that action.
