Arun Agrawal, Rishi Soni, Deepak Gupta, Gaurav Dubey

Abstract


This paper explores the role of robotics in medical science, focusing on advancements, applications, and future directions. The rapid evolution of robotics has revolutionized healthcare, particularly in surgical procedures, rehabilitation, and diagnostics. Advancements such as minimally invasive surgery and robot-assisted surgery have improved surgical outcomes by providing enhanced precision and visualization. Tele-robotics enables remote surgeries, bringing specialized care to underserved areas. The integration of AI with robotics has led to the development of intelligent systems capable of analyzing medical data and assisting in decision-making. Robotics finds applications in various domains, including surgery, rehabilitation, diagnosis, imaging, and prosthetics. The future of robotics in medical science holds promising prospects, including nanorobotics, robotic drug delivery, healthcare automation, and human-robot collaboration. Challenges remain, such as ensuring safety and reliability, addressing ethical concerns, and making these technologies accessible. As researchers continue to push boundaries, robotics in medical science is poised to bring significant advancements, improving patient care and outcomes.
