I would be shocked if all of the robots don't in fact do a superior job than their human counterparts do.

The most interesting aspect of this hospital will definitely be to see the human and staff reaction to having robots do all of that work. Anyone who has ever worked in a hospital (and specifically with doctors) knows that they can be very set in their ways and they don't always appreciate or accept changes to their workflow. Hopefully Engadget will do a short follow up when the hospital opens!]]>Jun 21st 2010 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/robots-to-invade-scottish-hospital-pose-as-workers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/robots-to-invade-scottish-hospital-pose-as-workers/Many hospitals have been using these for a decade now.
