Urology Robotics
Urology Robotics (pronunciation: yoo-ROL-uh-jee roh-BAH-tiks) is a branch of medicine that involves the use of robotics in the field of urology.
Etymology
The term "Urology Robotics" is a combination of two words. "Urology" is derived from the Greek words "ouron" meaning urine and "logia" meaning study of. "Robotics" is derived from the Czech word "robota" meaning forced labor, which was first used in a 1920 play and later adopted into the English language in the 1940s.
