Hospital robotics must operate in complex,
dynamic clinical environments where real-
time responsiveness is critical for safe
navigation and effective performance.
Since many hospitals have unreliable
wireless connectivity, robots rely
heavily on edge computing to maintain
autonomy without depending on cloud
or remote infrastructure."
