The experiment, conducted with nurses and physicians, evaluated the subjects’ levels of trust in and dependence on high- and low-quality recommendations issued by robotic versus computer-based decision support, generated through action-driven learning from expert demonstration. The high-quality recommendations produced, were accepted by nurses and physicians at a compliance rate of 90%. The study's overall results support the notion that a robotic assistant may be able to safely and effectively assist in patient care.
