“…Telepresence robots have been examined as well. For example, Mariappan et al [23] described a telemedicine robot used by surgeons to diagnose patients remotely, and Sucher et al [30] interviewed patients and their families who had interacted with a telemedicine robot in an intensive care unit and found that the use of robots in this setting was viewed favorably. Robotic companions such as Paro, a soft robotic seal, in nursing homes have also been studied.…”

“…Manufacturers have been aggressively making and selling medical robots because they are the most costly service robots; sales in 2012 have totaled "$1,495 million, accounting for 44% of the total sales value of...service robots" [1]. In the healthcare domain, there exists a good body of work understanding our interactions with service robots [22,29], therapy robots in nursing homes [20,9], and telemedicine robots [23,30].…”

As both hero and villain, robots have played prominent roles in media such as films and books. Now, robots are no longer hidden away from the public conscious in fictive worlds or real-life factories. Robots are becoming a real part of our everyday encounters in environments such as healthcare settings. In this paper, we describe a discourse analysis of 60 YouTube videos that showcase robots in healthcare activities. Our narrative weaves three discourses that construct visions of the healthcare robot: (1) the miraculous robot as the robot that enhances patient care; (2) the mundane robot as the innocuous robot that integrates into the workflow seamlessly; and (3) the preternatural robot as the robot that is miraculous but never mundane. We propose several contrary visions to this dominant narrative of healthcare robots as a framework for future fieldwork that, we argue, should investigate the institutions of robotics.

“…A wide range of robots exists, designed for different needs. Researchers in previous studies have investigated the use of robots in surgery (Cleary & Nguyen, 2001), rehabilitation (Balasubramanian et al, 2010), dentistry or bio-prosthetics (Belter et al, 2013); for telerounding (Iftikhar et al, 2011) or as assistants (Mariappan et al, 2011). Service type robots can facilitate independent living by supporting basic activities, mobility, providing household maintenance, monitoring those in need of continuous watchfulness and upholding safety (Broekens et al, 2009).…”

The aim was to examine how humanoid robots have been used in the care of older persons and identify possible benefits and challenges associated with such use from older persons' points of view. The study was a scoping review based on Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework. To identify peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed literature, a systematic search of the PubMed, Cinahl and Google Scholar electronic databases was conducted for studies published between 2013 and 2019. The PRISMA-ScR guidelines have served as a guideline. A total of 12 studies were included and resulted in four main categories related to how humanoid robots have been used in care of older persons (domain of use): Supports everyday life, Provides interaction, Facilitates cognitive training and Facilitates physical training. Potential for humanoid robots to be accepted as companions for older persons was seen, but technical issues, such as humanoid robots' slow response time or errors, emerged as key challenges. Older persons' perceived enjoyment of using a humanoid robot might also decrease over time. Validated measurements to estimate the effectiveness of using humanoid robots in the care of older persons are needed.

“…[1] Points out numerous research areas in the application of robotics in healthcare settings. Such as robotic surgical Systems [2,3], laparoscopy surgery and tele-rounding robots [4], robot-assisted rehabilitation [5][6][7], caregiver and patient"s assistants [8][9][10], robotic applications in dentistry, bio-prosthetic [11]. The list continues as the technology advances and even more applications of robot in healthcare could be envisaged.…”

Humanoid robots have evolved over the years and today it is in many different areas of applications, from homecare to social care and healthcare robotics. This paper deals with a brief overview of the current and potential applications of humanoid robotics in healthcare settings. We present a comprehensive contextualization of humanoid robots in healthcare by identifying and characterizing active research activities on humanoid robot that can work interactively and effectively with humans so as to fill some identified gaps in current healthcare deficiency.
