A review on humanoid robotics in healthcare
Open accessAbstract
Humanoid robots have evolved over the years and today it is in many different areas of applications, from homecare to social care and healthcare robotics. This paper deals with a brief overview of the current and potential applications of humanoid robotics in healthcare settings. We present a comprehensive contextualization of humanoid robots in healthcare by identifying and characterizing active research activities on humanoid robot that can work interactively and effectively with humans so as to fill some identified gaps in current healthcare deficiency.

An assistive robot named RIBA with human-type arms was designed to help patients with lifting and moving heavy things.
“An assistive robot named RIBA with human-type arms was designed to help patients with lifting and moving heavy things.”
From The rise of artificial intelligence in healthcare applications (2020) · cites this paper as [57]
Section 4.3, “Humanoid Robot for Aging Population,” says RIBA had human-type arms and was designed for heavy physical tasks, specifically transferring a person between a bed and wheelchair. The “Author Robot” table likewise describes it as lifting and transferring patients. These passages do not support the claim that it helped patients lift or move heavy things. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIt has been demonstrated that RIBA is able to carry a patient from the bed to a wheelchair and vice versa.
“It has been demonstrated that the robot is able to carry the patient from the bed to a wheelchair and vice versa. Instructions can be provided to RIBA either by using tactile sensors using a method known as tactile guidance to teach by showing [57].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
