    Impact: Accelerated rehabilitation, improved quality of life for individuals with mobility challenges, and personalised
                  u
                      care delivery.
                      Example: An exoskeleton robot designed for stroke rehabilitation uses sensors to measure a patient’s leg strength
                  u
                      and movement. An AI system then analyses this data and adjusts the level of assistance provided by the exoskeleton
                      in real-time, gradually reducing support as the patient gains strength, thereby optimising their recovery.

                  Robots for Hospital Logistics and Disinfection
                      Concept: Autonomous  robots are increasingly  used  in hospitals  for mundane  but  essential  tasks  like  delivering
                  u
                      medicines, linen, or food, and for automated disinfection of rooms.
                      AI/ML Application: Similar to AMRs in manufacturing, these robots use AI-powered navigation and mapping to move
                  u
                      around complex hospital layouts, avoid staff and patients, and navigate elevators. ML helps them learn efficient
                      delivery routes and schedules. For disinfection robots, AI ensures comprehensive coverage of surfaces.
                      Impact: Improved  efficiency  in  hospital  operations,  reduced  workload  for human  staff, enhanced  hygiene  and
                  u
                      infection control, and increased safety for staff by handling potentially contaminated materials.
                      Example: During a pandemic, a UV-C light disinfection robot autonomously patrols hospital rooms after patient
                  u
                      discharge. Its AI mapping ensures every surface is exposed to the germ-killing UV light for the optimal duration,
                      reducing human exposure to contaminated areas.

                        1.  How does a proximity sensor detect nearby objects without physical contact?

                        2.  What is the purpose of a tilt sensor?
