Space robot Robonaut will nurse

Now humanity again began to look into space, even if the displays and their smartphones and tablets. Some countries are already planning the establishment of settlements on the Moon \ Mars, and not only the country but also individual organizations and even individuals. Problems, of course, a lot, and one of them - the lack of qualified medical service in the colonies near and far space (subject to availability of such colonies, of course).

Ideally, each colony should be equipped with all sorts of experts, including physicians. But this is not always possible.

Almost every astronaut now - wagon that "and the reaper, and Sweden, and the dude igrets" and the doctor - monospetsialist, which in most cases can not be useful in other areas of life and work of the colonists.

In general, one of the possible solutions to the problem - training the robot basic skills of health worker. If the colony is located not very far from the Earth, a qualified doctor, sitting in a comfortable chair, will be able to control the robot (eg, orbital station or on the Moon). In this case, the delay is not very great, and the doctor will be able to control the actions of his ward robot.

The latter must itself something to be able to, so now NASA trying to teach his skills as Robonaut-medbrata.Vozmozhno such robots will be in each colony, in the not too distant future.
