Emerging approaches to human-robot collaboration in healthcare

Collaborative robots can enhance productivity and efficiency in healthcare. This PhD project aims to investigate new methods and tools for effective interaction with these robots, focusing on programming techniques accessible to domain experts without a background in computer science or robotics. Automating repetitive tasks can allow healthcare professionals to dedicate more attention to critical procedures. For instance, this technology can enhance therapy efficiency and personalized medicine preparation, benefiting patient outcomes. The research will investigate the use of Large Language Models to simplify and optimize robot task programming, reducing the need for technical expertise.
