# Robonurse Ready to Serve Hospitals by 2010 By TechnoGadget | Published 2007-02-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robonurse-ready-to-serve-hospitals-by-2010 References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/page/2/) & [techiediva](http://www.techiediva.com/weblog/2007/02/meet_robonurse.html) The IWARD project plans to develop a "nursebot" that carries some hats, and can manage [cleaning up drips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-cleaning-device), operating face and voice recognition technology to "[communicate with patients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourier-g3) and spot unauthorized visitors," and even effective in "swarms" to allocate responsibilities between the robotic squad. Researchers are planning to have a three nursebot samples ready by 2010, and desire to combine sensors and camera to evade impacts even as "traveling along high-speed lanes in the hospital corridors." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Robotic Nurses:** The development of nursebots with advanced capabilities like face and voice recognition technology presents disruptive innovation opportunities in healthcare. - **Swarm Robotics:** The use of robotic swarms to allocate responsibilities and coordinate tasks in hospitals can revolutionize healthcare management. - **High-speed Robotic Mobility:** The integration of sensors and cameras to enable safe travel along high-speed lanes in hospital corridors opens up possibilities for more efficient and agile robotic systems. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can benefit from the implementation of robotic nurses to improve patient care and optimize resource allocation. - **Robotics:** The advancement of swarm robotics technology offers opportunities for innovation in various industries, including healthcare. - **Artificial Intelligence:** The application of AI-powered robotics in hospital environments can enhance safety, efficiency, and patient experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Healthcare Assistant Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthcare-assistant-robot.md) - [Elderly Care Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeo.md) - [Senior Care Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiden.md) - [Friendly Robotic Wheelchair Caregivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheelchair-robot-concept.md) - [AI-Based Children Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robin-the-robot.md) - [AI Care Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyodol-doll.md) - [Real-World Service Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/service-robot1.md) - [Robotic Restaurant Support Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotlab-automated-systems.md) - [Household Maintenance Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-gamma.md)
