Our original analysis (2021)
Other employees in clinical settings are also getting assistance from robots. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) will become widespread and will perform tasks like transporting samples or suppliers, dispensing medication, and disinfecting rooms. Advances in perception, learning, and manipulation enable robots to navigate through hospitals more intelligently and to open doors and operate elevators.
