Webinar: Future of Robotics and Healthcare
Channel: Purdue Engineering
Date: 2020-10-10

The 2020 pandemic has challenged our healthcare systems but it has also opened the door to a greater acceptance of robots and automation. What will the future of robotics and healthcare look like?  In the clinic, a patient is waiting to receive a newly prescribed drug.  Do they know that a drug discovery lab was able to use robotics and automation to rapidly screen millions of cells with different compounds in order to discover this new treatment?  Similarly, automation was used to streamline the processing of thousands of daily patient samples to test for a potentially deadly air-borne virus.  This webinar on the Future of Robotics and Healthcare, features a distinguished panel of experts with perspectives from academia and industry, to discuss these topics and how far they are from becoming reality.
