Robot nurses could be bustling around hospital wards in as little as three years.
The mechanised "angels" being developed by EU-funded scientists will perform basic tasks such as mopping up spillages, taking messages and guiding visitors to hospital beds. They could also distribute medicines and even monitor the temperature of patients remotely with laser thermometers. Scientists from the universities of Warwick, Cardiff, Dublin and Newcastle are among the engineers and software experts taking part in the "IWARD" project. They aim to have a three-robot prototype system ready by 2010.
I just think that this would be so strange not only to work with but to patients too

mmmm but its like everything else something new is always strange but we get used to it eventually mmm i think or is it the start ????
