This robo can stand in for a doctor working remotely, or bring a patient water

General News

Summary

A hospital in Milan is testing a robot called Alter-Ego to help with routine ward tasks and reduce pressure on healthcare staff. The robot can speak with patients, relay their pain levels to nurses, bring water, and guide people to treatment. The project combines robotics and AI, and the team plans to move from remote control to autonomous operation starting in July. The experiment also aims to define which hospital tasks a robot should handle now and in the future, including potential use at home.
