A UofL team of Engineers and nurses are building a robot to be a nurses' assistant - to take over the time consuming tasks that keep nurses away from direct patient care. Nursing faculty Cynthia Logsdon, along with co-investigators Heather Mitchell and Diane Chlebowy are collaborating with engineering faculty Dan Popa to design a new generation of robots to assist nurses

in the hospital setting. Logsdon emphasizes the robot is not meant to replace the high-level critical thinking and analysis required by a nurse, but it could assist with more routine tasks such as fetching water for a patient.
