The current labor shortage is greatly affecting hospitals. Automating dangerous and physically demanding work is the most logical place to start. Safely transporting heavy loads of dangerous biohazardous materials using mobile robots is already happening.

Simple repetitive tasks and long walking distances can also lead to fatigue and strain on the human body, especially with an aging work force. Freeing up humans to do more valuable and safer work while having more time for face-to-face interactions with patients leads to better outcomes and satisfaction for both the patients and the hospital staff. Mobile robots are increasingly helping hospitals to address labor shortages and also to become safer and more efficient. This presentation will show examples from around the world of various use cases for robots in healthcare.
