Frida robot helping out at Maribor hospital

Maribor, 29 November - A humanoid robot Frida has been helping out at UKC Maribor as part of its testing within a research project for a year and a half. Staff were initially rather reserved to Frida, fearing artificial intelligence was there to replace them, but they have since changed their minds and are much more positive about it, and so are patients.
