As a biomedical equipment engineering student, I can think of several applications for this in a hospital setting. Imagine patients that no longer had to worry about pushing the IV pole around when they had to go to the bathroom or when they walk around the halls for exercise. This could also be used to house the numerous monitoring equipment in a hospital room, which would save precious hospital space. Those are just a couple ideas off the top of my head, I'm sure people that are smarter than myself could come up with numerous other uses for this robot.

Very interesting development.

It should not take them long to make vehicles to move people around safely.

I hope this technology pans out for practical use.
