As member of @softenable today I had the chance to visit and witness the incredible work of nurses and doctors, and how they benefit from robots to assist them on surgeries. Huge thanks to the @hospitalclinic for hosting us!.
Today @IRI_robotics roboticists are visiting @hospitalclinic operating room, ICU and hospitalization ward to get some insights of the real life applications for @softenable
