Well I'm still lost on how this saves time or money. There is still a person "manning" the robot. Are they tryiing to say it's faster to take temperatures via robot rather than in person? Doesn't the doctor still have to talk to the patient? Where is the time saving here?

Seems to me this is just for the lazy doctors who don't want to walk around.

Now, if you were to put one of these in someone's home, and turn it on to seek medical assitance, or for checkups or something, then I could see that is provides a means for in-home care without being in-home. But to have these things rumbling around a group home in place of a real person..? I don't get it.
