 A Robot Maker for Health SectorOm Prakash ()
A chapter in Achieving $5 Trillion Economy of India, 2022, pp 305-326 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Coronavirus infections have once again highlighted the need to accelerate the companies, especially in health care to adopt automation. Countless robots have been made since last more than 50 years, but still we do not find their ubiquitous presence. Consequently, countless doctors, nurses and healthcare workers have risked, are currently risking and may continue to risk their precious lives, while tending the dependents. Countless families have suffered as their lone breadwinner succumbed to a risky act while tending coronavirus-affected patients. The paper suggests that it is high time now that companies delegate only the risky tasks to robots. The industry is currently in version 4.0, which is digitalization, and a universal need is felt to accelerate the companies toward adopting intelligent automation. While automation is the next version in industrialization of the world, the question still arises as to whether the state-of-the-art technologies are available to usher the companies toward the new era of automation or not. There are innumerable researches on robotics, and even the kids are being prepared to construct a robot at some places. However, it seems to be an aimless proliferation of robotics undertaking the ordinary or cliché jobs so much so that the whole activity appears clichéd. It is high time that a focused research is undertaken to construct a universal robot that can help to make robots that are secure and harmless to humans and replace preferably risky tasks. This not only will prepare the world in moving in right direction, but would also ensure safety and security of human race as the automation could be directed to replace only the risky tasks. This work is therefore aimed at constructing a universal “automaton” to understand any requirement and assist in creating safe and secure robots with the help of 3D printers. A prototype to this effect was developed and is available for further research and development in this area.
