Application of Medical Robotics in Healthcare Sector

Abstract

The many benefits offered by robots have led to their widespread adoption. The healthcare industry encountered several obstacles while attempting to close the vast gap between service recipients and those in need. The medical and automotive industries have benefited the most from the use of sophisticated robots thanks to recent technical developments. Precision, little tissue damage, and the use of tiny devices are what make robotic surgery so advantageous in the medical field. With this equipment at their disposal, surgeons may execute a wide range of difficult procedures, including those involving the heart, ureters, kidneys, and more. This study examines the history, development, design, applications, and limits of robots in medicine and healthcare, focusing particularly on surgical robots. As a secondary topic, this chapter explores the many potential applications and future directions for robots in healthcare.
