It has been over 40 years since the first modern robot showed that a machine could be digitally operated and taught to do our industrial bidding. Today visionary scientists are working to expand the power of robotics beyond the floors of factories, warehouses, and laboratories. The health care industry is a prime venue for new innovations in robot technology. In this HMI World Forum, some of the key architects of this brave new world provide a glimpse of the leading-edge advances in medical robotics, and point toward a future where new technologies could help transform the nature of health care delivery while playing a role in addressing the workforce shortage.
