Description

Robots are used in very many different fields. For example, there are inspection robots, which check wall thickness in inaccessible places.

Robots are also increasingly found in healthcare. They prove their usefulness not only in daily treatments, but even in operations. The computer-controlled devices are programmed to partially take over a doctor's work. This has advantages for the patient and saves the use of expensive specialists. One example is the operating theatre of the future. You will be operated on without any scars. Therefore, the surgeon's knife does not enter the room: the doctor works with his joysticks.
