ORANGE, Calif. — It greets everyone good morning and never forgets to make its rounds. One could say Robin the Robot is on track to be recognized as employee of the month at Health Bridge Children’s Hospital — a specialty pediatric care facility for children who are recovering from complex medical issues due to traumatic brain injuries.

Chief Clinical Officer Roberta Consolver said Robin brings much needed comfort by using human assisted artificial intelligence.

Robin interacts with patients who are isolated during medical care to help ease anxiety, stress, loneliness and pain.
