In this article, Andrew Busch examines how humanoid robots are beginning to change healthcare, from surgical settings to everyday hospital operations. As healthcare systems face labor shortages, rising costs, and growing demand, these robots are increasingly used to support clinical staff by handling repetitive, physically demanding, or time-sensitive tasks.
Busch outlines the technologies enabling this shift, including natural language processing, computer vision, tactile sensing, and cloud-based machine learning, which allow humanoid robots to interact with patients and operate in clinical environments. The article also addresses challenges surrounding safety, ethics, cost, regulation, and patient trust, particularly as humans form new relationships with robotic caregivers. Through market context and real-world examples, Busch frames humanoid AI as a significant development shaping the future of hospitals, surgery, and patient care.
