Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are changing the way our world works. In the last few years alone, astounding strides have been made in these fields to aid human efforts in a variety of ways. Let’s take a look at some of the most notable advancements in robotics and AI in different fields:
Healthcare
AI and robotics have both been utilized in the healthcare industry. In fact, this field is one that could arguably benefit the most by these technologies. They can assist in surgery, rehabilitation efforts, therapeutic practices, and providing patient companionship. Note the word “assist”; AI and robotics are not displacing healthcare professionals. Rather, the use of these tools can make the duties of healthcare professionals much easier.
An article by Ohio University cites the example of the da Vinci Surgical System. This system “utilizes the hand movements of the operating surgeon to control tiny, precise instruments inside the patient’s body. This allows for minimally invasive … cardiac, colorectal, gynecologic, head and neck, thoracic, and urologic (procedures).” These developments make surgical procedures much more efficient and comfortable for the patient too.
Another example of robotics in the medical field includes the use of devices such as exoskeletons for patients who have suffered ...
