The big idea
Hospital robots are not scary movie robots. They mostly carry stuff, clean rooms, or play simple games to help kids feel less alone.
Some examples
- Delivery robots roll meds from the pharmacy to a room
- Cleaning robots use AI to mop hallways at night
- Some pet-shaped robots comfort kids who miss home
- Doctors and nurses still do the medical stuff
Try it!
If you ever go to a hospital, count how many people (not robots) help you that day. Way more humans than bots.
