With the pandemic resulting in a need for social distancing, using robots for health care interactions is becoming a way to reduce personal contact between health care workers and patients. While there remain issues about how people will feel about interacting with a robot, a recent study showed that patients regarded interacting with a video screen mounted on a robot was similar to an in-person session and that a majority of patients were open to this approach.
