The Terminator says take your pills!
Wow, a few of these look like they'd make a dandy inspiration for a science fiction piece!
Make Way for the Robots - Automated Medical Care is a Reality
Providing care for senior citizens: In a nation filled with baby boomers who don’t have caregivers and who live alone, these robots are definitely going to be a boon not just to the elderly, but also to the ailing healthcare system of this country. Charles Kemp, assistant biomedical engineering professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and his team at the institute’s Healthcare Robotics Lab are working on robots that can safely and effectively help care for senior citizens. Ideally, the machines would be able to provide their charges with access to the Internet, remind them to take their medicines, open doors and drawers, and retrieve objects like pill bottles when guided by a laser pointer, radio signals or touch.
Did anybody else think of The Odd Couple, except where the clean & tidy one is a robot? Hehe, oh my mind totally messes with stuff like this. The OctoMag sounds like something out of the Matrix, being inserted up your nose to remove eye blood clots like that. And the DNA robot... well I'm sure there's plenty that could be imagined up from that. ;)
