Abstract

Robotics has revolutionized healthcare by enhancing precision, efficiency, and accessibility across various medical fields. From robotic-assisted surgeries to rehabilitation and patient care, these technologies have significantly improved outcomes for both patients and healthcare providers. Robotic surgical systems, such as the da Vinci Surgical System, allow for minimally invasive procedures with greater accuracy, reduced complications, and faster recovery times. These systems provide enhanced dexterity and precision, enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with minimal incisions. Beyond surgery, robotics plays a crucial role in rehabilitation, where robotic exoskeletons and assistive devices help patients regain mobility after injuries or neurological disorders like stroke or spinal cord damage. In diagnostics, robotic technologies, such as automated laboratory systems and AI-powered imaging tools, facilitate faster and more accurate disease detection, improving early diagnosis and treatment planning. Additionally, robotics is transforming patient care with robotic nurses and assistants, which help monitor patients, administer medications, and perform routine tasks, reducing the burden on healthcare staff. Telepresence robots enable remote consultations, allowing specialists to assess and manage patients from different locations. The integration of artificial intelligence with robotics further enhances capabilities, enabling personalized treatments and predictive analytics for disease management. As technology advances, robotics in healthcare will continue to expand, making medical procedures safer, improving patient outcomes, and increasing accessibility to quality healthcare worldwide. The ongoing development of robotic solutions promises a future where healthcare is more precise, efficient, and patient-centered.
