Robots - from the Auto Assembly Line to the Hospital
 This is the first autonomous hospital robot in Japan. It signed on at the cardiac department of the Sakaki field hospital at Okayama.
This robot, manufactured by Matsushita Electric, will distribute medication to the patients, but it can also hand out prescriptions, radios,
and other items. It can also serve as an "information hub", greet visitors, remember faces, and all of this in
an autonomous way of course.
Helpmate - the Nursing Stations Best Friend
 Helpmate is a robot that independently navigates through hospital corridors, delivering meal trays, paperwork, and supplies.
The robot employs multiple sensors to safely navigate and work in close proximity to people.
The da Vinci Robot is FDA Approved
 The The da vinci robotic system has been used in tens of thousands of minimally invasive surgeries worldwide.
Shorter hospital stay - A majority of robotic prostatectomy patients are discharged the same day, or 1-day after the procedure.
Less pain, less risk of infection - Robotic visualization and precision enable the surgeon to perform complex prostatectomy procedures meticulously with small incisions.
Less blood loss and transfusions - Nerves and vessels are magnified 10-15 times giving the surgeon more accuracy while reducing the risks of excessive blood loss.
Less scarring - Robotic prostatectomy patients have reduced post operative scarring, as surgical incisions are much smaller compared to open prostatectomy.
Faster recovery and quicker return to normal activities - Robotic prostatectomy patients have faster recovery compared to open prostatectomy because nerves and vessels responsible for bladder and sexual functions are spared.
Minimally invasive - Robotic prostatectomy is a recent and proven advancement in minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Robot RX is a breakthrough in Efficiency and Accuracy
 The Robot RX system works via a robotic arm operating on vertical and horizontal rails that retrieves medications and deposits them into patient-specific dispensers. The system uses bar codes to verify, retrieve and track unit dose medications dispensed to patients. ROBOT-Rx can retrieve one medication in under 3 seconds and can fill 700 doses per hour.
