How does the development of underwater robots compare to moon rovers or Mars rovers?

<span data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"Developing and operating robots underwater involves many tough challenges reminiscent of those required to operate the lunar or Mars rovers. In both cases, the robots must operate with limited, often non-robust communication capabilities. They must operate in harsh environments which are often less-known beforehand, and must be equipped to deal with complications arising in such environments. The terrain is also often not well-understood prior to the robot’s missions in both these cases."}" data-sheets-userformat="{"2":4483,"3":{"1":0},"4":{"1":2,"2":16777215},"10":2,"11":4,"15":"Arial"}">Developing and operating robots underwater involves many tough challenges reminiscent of those required to operate the lunar or Mars rovers.

What was the first robot made entirely of soft parts?

The first soft robot was the Octobot, developed at Harvard University in 2016.

How do robots help nurses do their jobs in hospitals?

In certain hospitals there are already medication dispensing robots that retrieve the right medication packages for further delivering. This is a very important topic since it helps to reduce the likelihood of human error when delivering medications and respective doses to patients.
