　　ARobots are being used for the first time in hospitals. "Robot-nurses" perform a variety of tasks such as delivering medicine, food and laboratory samples to sickrooms and taking away waste. Patients aren't treated by robots, as this is still done by medical staff. The idea is to employ robots to transport supplies between departments.

　　牋牋bo "Nurses often have to break off from what they are doing to gather supplies," says Peter Seiff, who makes the robots called TUGs. Research shows any interruption in medical work can lead to errors-a nurse may forget whether she has given medicine and may give a patient double the dose (剂量) or none at all.

　　 The robots vary in size according to what job they perform, but normally take the shape of a metal box on wheels, with a box on the side containing their software.

　　 After being programmed, the robots are able to find their way around a hospital unassisted. They also contain scanning technology to create electronic pictures or a "memory" of routes on their hard drives to help them go through passages, doors and other obstacles. Each robot is also monitored at the producer's headquarters (总部) in case it runs into any difficulties.
