Robots in Hospitals

Robots are being used in hospitals, just like I talked about in my presentation. This article says that they are currently using the robots to perform simple routine surgeries. They hope in the future that they can perform major surgeries like heart surgery. Robots are being controlled by the surgeons from a remote location, so they can actually perform some of these surgeries from anywhere in the world. This is helping to keep costs down, and keeping less people in the surgery room.
