A Qualitative Review on Intervention of Robotics in Medical Science

Robots have entered into many aspects of human life,
including medical science. The impact of robotics on medicine
is undeniable. Robots can be defined as "automatically
controlled multitask manipulators, which are freely
programmable in three or more axes." The success of robots is
based on their precision, lack of fatigue, and speed of action.
Medical robotics is a promising field that really took off in the
1990s. Since then, a wide variety of medical applications have
emerged: laboratory robots, surgical training, remote surgery,
telemedicine and teleconsultation, rehabilitation and hospital
robots. There are, however, many challenges in the widespread
implementation of robotics in the medical field, mainly due to
issues such as safety, precision, cost and reluctance to accept
this technology. Medical robotics includes a number of
devices used for surgery, medical training, rehabilitation
therapy, prosthetics, and assistance to people with disabilities.
Robotic surgery has been successfully implemented in several
hospitals around the globe and has received world wide
acceptance. This paper provides an overview of the impact of
robots in multiple medical domains, which is one of the most
active areas for research and development of robots.
