Hospitals are not known for automating labor-intensive tasks but robots are just beginning to make inroads in health-care. The first--and still only--robot grew from a class assignment to use an established technology in a new growth industry. The established technology was bar coding; the industry health-care; and the result a robotic device for the hospital pharmacy.
医院并不以实现劳动密集型任务的自动化而闻名,但机器人刚刚开始在医疗保健领域取得进展。第一个(而且目前仍然是唯一的一个)机器人源自一项课堂作业,要求在一个新兴的增长型行业中运用一项成熟技术。这项成熟技术是条形码;行业是医疗保健;其成果是一种用于医院药房的机器人设备。
