| Description:
| Penelope the robot may free nurses to do more "human" tasks. By Josh Chamot. National Science Foundation ''Discoveries." "As the decade unfolds with its shortage of nurses, the sheer volume of patients each nurse must care for is leading to a critical burden for each of these professionals. While nurses will always be crucial to the care of patients, certain jobs may soon be accomplished by sophisticated robots. Surgeon Michael R. Treat and his team at Robotic Surgical Tech, Inc. have developed a robotic surgical assistant, named 'Penelope,' to perform tasks usually assigned to the scrub nurse. All of Penelope's talents are made possible by the innovative application of artificial intelligence to surgical situations."
