Hospitals in the United States are about to have emergency robot nurses

The hospital's emergency room nurses may soon be replaced by robots called TriageBots - at least the eccentricity of computer engineers at Vanderbilt University in the United States.

Japanese models stand by their 'replica', the Geminoid F 'robot is feminine and attractive.'

A team working with a robotic system can collect medical information, provide initial diagnostic solutions, and make important decisions about the patient's urgency.

Announced on Dec. 6, the Vanderbilt project aims to equip TriageBot for US hospitals within five years.

This robotic system is not only robotic observers in standby areas, but also electronic kiosks with voice prompts and a touch screen for quick screening. Patient chest pain? Kiosk will immediately alert the medical staff. In addition, it will identify important signs of the disease and require you to name the place and sit. According to the researchers, about 40% of patients in emergency rooms are in a state of threatening network.

TriageBot can handle up to 60% of work reducing waiting times and increasing the efficiency of the hospital. Researchers unveiled this bold plan on Dec. 6 at the Humanoids 2010 robotics conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

Of course, hospital robots are not something new, especially in Japan. Aizu Central Hospital's nurses in northern Tokyo have a welcoming robot that welcomes guests and answers questions.

In another hospital, RIBA, a robot developed by the Japan Institute for Physical Chemistry, has a useful role in lifting patients out of bed. In a British hospital, a group of robots is responsible for cleaning and patient beds, while other robots distribute drugs and food.

Kokoro, a Tokyo-based entertainment company, has teamed up with Osaka University's Hiroshi Ishiguro to create a live female robot called Actroid (Geminoid F).

The robot was developed a few years ago and announced at a press conference in Osaka in April. The company hopes the ' cute ' robots will act as receptionists, clinics or guides.
