Conclusion
Robots are increasingly being used in clinical laboratories to reduce monotonous tasks and minimize human exposure to hazardous environments.
Supporting Evidence
- Robots can perform repetitive tasks more efficiently than humans.
- Robots help reduce the risk of exposure to biohazards in clinical settings.
- Automation in laboratories can lead to more precise and reliable results.
Takeaway
Robots help in labs by doing boring and dangerous jobs, making it safer and faster for people to get their work done.
Limitations
Robots currently available are not intelligent enough for easy handling by untrained personnel.
