Robotic helpers are making their way into Japanese hospitals to reduce the workload of human healthcare professionals.

As reported by local media The Asahi Shimbun, Nagoya University Hospital, based in Nagoya, Tsurumaicho, is planning to deploy a pilot program in February which will see a squadron of robots taking to the floor to deliver drugs and test samples.

At the beginning of the year-long pilot, four robots will work the night shift from 5 p.m. through 8 a.m., riding elevators to visit different floors while conducting their duties.
