At CES 2013, robots ranging from cleaning droids to dancing bots to bedside medical advisers swarmed the Las Vegas Convention Center. One of the more newsworthy machines is RP-VITA, a 5-foot-tall iPad-operated robot developed by iRobot and InTouch Health. Designed to allow remote doctors to communicate with patients through the display, RP-VITA is the first navigating communications medical robot to receive FDA approval.
