Through three rounds of nominal group voting and discussion, a consensus was reached on 44 items, which were categorised into 29 high-priority needs, 13 medium-priority needs and two low-priority needs. The functionalities in areas such as \u2018sleep and pain assessment,\u2019 \u2018monitoring of sedation, agitation, and delirium,\u2019 and \u2018robot-assisted rehabilitation and physical therapy\u2019 were particularly favoured by the ICU medical and nursing staff.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study has defined the functional needs and priorities for ICU intelligent robots from the perspective of ICU clinical medical and nursing staff.
