Forth Valley Royal Hospital to use robot 'workers'

The robots are undergoing their final tests, but they will start 'working' in the new Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert in August. This hospital is the first hospital to use an amount of robots who can do day-to-day tasks. Activities they will be doing are carrying clinical waste, dispense drugs, deliver food, and clean the operating theatre. One major advantage is that the robots will have their own tasks, which will prevent carrying out infections. Robots who do 'dirty' tasks and robots who do 'clean' tasks, will use different elevators, so they won't cross each other. This will also prevent carrying out infections.

My opinion:
This is a great invention in my opinion. I can't believe they have made robots that can do all those tasks. If I read this article, it seems like they have thought about all the disadvantages and advantages, and they have a clear idea of how they want to use the robots. The robot has a system in itself which tells him what to do, where to go, and where he is. One main advantage in my opinion is that the nurses will have more time to spent with their patients, because they will have to do less cleaning work. As long as the humans don't get replaced by the robots, this can be a great invention.
