It has been used in a wide variety of fields from head and neck to urologic surgery. The surgeon is in complete control of the system at all times, it has been used in a wide variety of fields from head and neck to urologic surgery. The surgeon is in complete control of the system at all times (The medical futurist, 2016). It has been used in a wide variety of fields from head and neck to urologic surgery. The surgeon is in complete control of the system at all times (Williams, 2017). A procedure example of how the da Vinci is used is to assist urologist in removing the prostates in patience with prostate cancer. This tele-operated robot-assisted surgical system has been used successfully on millions of patients since it was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000 (Anandan, 2015). A second great robotic device is the exoskeletons. With the help of these devices paralyzed people are able to walk. It can also enhance strength in order to allow a nurse to lift an elderly patient (The medical futurist, 2016). A third robotic device is the one Sannex a Texas based company produced. It is a unique robot that uses a high intensity ultra violet light to disinfect any space in a healthcare facility quickly and efficiently, which reduces the number of hospital acquired infections (The medical futurist, 2016). Another robotic device is the origami robot, when swallowed the capsule containing it dissolves in the patient’s stomach and unfolds itself. Controlled by a technician with the help of magnetic fields it can patch up wounds or safely remove foreign items such as swallowed toys (The medical futurist,
