Answer:
Check out the Da Vinci surgical robot system. It is currently is use across the country. A surgeon actually operated on a patient in France from New York. The connection cost a million dollars just for the bandwidth, but it demonstrated the future possibility. They are surprisingly responsive and dextrous, I got to try one out. They actually had a five year old demonstrate working the machine. (not with a patient of course) The advantages are you get all the benefits of laparoscopic surgery ( decreased infections, smaller incisions, shorter recovery times) with greater mobility and dexterity. Unfortunately you can't feel how hard you are pushing on something, so you have to learn by visual clues.
Robots are also used in pharmacies to fill prescriptions. It basically looks like a giant vending machine. Also for prosthetic arms.
