There is a global shortage of health workers, in

Nurses play a critical role in health promotion, disease
prevention and delivering primary and community care.
They provide care in emergency settings and will be
key to the achievement of universal health coverage.

According to the World Health Organization 2022, the
shortage of health workers, especially nurses and
midwives who constitute for more than a half of the current
situation. It is estimated that the labour market in
healthcare will require for 9 million nurses and midwives in
2030 since nurses play a vital role in community health
services and be the key to the success of universal health
coverage. For that reason, the demand for robots
specialized for maintaining the human’s well-being, could
be the solution to address this problem. Robots could be
designed to resemble to human-like forms, and are even
embodied AI which enables them to communicate and
interact with humans and their environment, in particular is
hospitals (The Future of AI Robots in Health Care: 5 Questions with
Rukhsana Ahmed n.d.). this report will illustrate the
development of robots contributing to the healthcare
system and the positive and negative impact it has
globally.
Definition: Humanoid AI Robots (HAIRs) are embodied AI
with human-like forms — for example, social robots that are
designed to resemble humans and that communicate and
interact with humans and their environment. These
machines are designed to look humanoid, in part, because it
makes them more socially acceptable and allows them to
express intention in ways more easily perceived by
humans.

Rukhsana Ahmed n.d.)
As stated by Maalouf et al. [24], distinct functional foci are
represented by various types of healthcare robot applications
in the diversified subject of robotics in nursing. Assistive
robots and socially assistive robots were the main categories.
, The field of robotics in nursing is evolving fast to cope with the
need for help in caregiving, especially for the elderly and
individuals with disabilities. The future development of
robotics in nursing depends on a series of improvements in
theory and applications. (Soriano et al. 2022)
BODY HISTORY:
Emerging in the 1980s, the first robots in the
medical field provided surgical assistance via
robotic arm technologies. Over the years,
artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled computer
vision and data analytics have transformed
medical robots, expanding their capabilities
into many other areas of healthcare.
Robots are now used not only in the operating
room but also in clinical settings to support
healthcare workers and enhance patient care.
For example, hospitals and clinics are
deploying robots for a much wider range of
tasks to help reduce exposure to pathogens
during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Robotics in
Healthcare: The Future of Robots in Medicine - Intel n.d.)
The blooming era of medical robots emerged in 1980s, the first surgical
robot was published utilizing computed tomography image (CT) and
stereotactic frame to perform a brain biopsy (Yingwei et al.
2021). Ever since then with the advancement of technology, a myriad
of newborn robots has been significant breakthroughs for the medical
industry (see appendix 1). For example: ROBODOC, which was
published in 1992, has been declared to be the only active robotic systems
for orthopaedic surgery by the Food and Drug Administrations on March
2021 (Reilly, n.d.).
Followed by this success, medical robots have been diversified into
different categories and greatly expanded their efficiency into many areas
of the healthcare system. Varying from service robots which are
specialized for surgery, rehabilitation, or nursing to personal robots for
diagnosis, teaching, and even entertaining. Thus, robots appear to have
distinct appearances, materials, structures, and can be designed to look
humanoid to meet the demand of medical users and tasks (Yingwei et
al. 2021). Particularly in nursing, assistive and socially
