RE: Robots make quick work of hospital tasks
Bet they don't have to do any charting.

The email says READ the story , not watch the video. Make up your minds.

RE: Robots make quick work of hospital tasks
Emory University hospital had robots 8-10 years ago delivering food
from the kitchen to patients floors. I remember if you got close to
one, it would stop & beep at you to move. Then it would continue its
course. The robots had their own elevators. Today the robots are
gone. The skinny elevators still exists. Not sure why they were
discontinued.

Ohio State University Hospitals
Ohio State University Hospitals in Columbus, Ohio have similar robots that they use for delivery. I'm not sure about the details of what they do or their entire operational area but I have seen them riding elevators and cruising the halls.

No, I wasn't on medication at the time...they are really there.
