Les robots médicaux sont conçus pour interagir avec des patients, des professionnels de la santé ou des équipements médicaux. Ils servent notamment au bloc opératoire à assister les chirurgiens(par ex. robots d’assistance chirurgicale en neurochirurgie ou en orthopédie). Ils peuvent servir en dehors du bloc opératoire pour la rééducation des patients(par ex. exosquelettes), pour l'aide au diagnostic afin de disposer d’outils rapides et efficaces de diagnostic pour éviter tout retard ou erreur source potentielle de dommages. Ils peuvent encore être utilisés dans la prestation des soins de santé en général(par ex. robots de nettoyage, robots livreurs de médicaments, robots préparateurs de piluliers, etc.). Ils peuvent permettre la mise à profit de données récoltées le cas échéant pour la maintenance du dispositif ou pour la recherche. 1, record 1, French, - robot%20m%C3%A9dical

Equipment maintenance organisations were once judged for their ability to react quickly to breakdowns and how long it took to get equipment working again... Today, though, smart equipment maintenance managers are busy replacing these old values with higher-level paradigms of excellence. These managers are essentially working themselves out of their old jobs and inventing new ones with titles that include terms such as reliability engineering, asset management, asset utilisation, availability management and risk management. This new breed of manager uses modern technology and analysis techniques to attack the root cause of equipment failures and to eliminate the need for maintenance intervention whenever possible. 1, record 5, English, - maintenance%20intervention
