This is the first hospital in the United Kingdom that will use robots for carrying out day- to- day tasks. These robots can deliver food, clean the operating theatre and carry clinical waste. The robots are able to move themselves with the service lift and pick up some items. A programme would be set out for the robots to find their own way back in the hospital. The programmes can be reinstalled for following other tasks in the hospital. The manager of the hospital says that the robots would not take in the place of humans, but they will use them for doing the easy tasks.
I think it is a good way to use robots for day- to- day tasks, but instead the robots can not socialize like humans. I think the patients would like to have more contact with the nurses. These are just robots and cannot talk like humans, but on the other hand is it easy to use them because they can do tasks which need more attention. I also think that using robots will be very costly for the government in the future because the programmes should be reinstalled every time when it is needed and this system will be very expensive.
