Abstract

Robotics is transforming the healthcare sector by significantly improving precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes across various medical domains. This paper explores the diverse applications of robotics in healthcare, including surgical assistance, rehabilitation, diagnostics, and patient care. Key advancements such as robotic-assisted surgery systems like the da Vinci Surgical System, mobility-enhancing exoskeletons, and AI-driven diagnostic tools are examined. The study also addresses critical challenges, including high implementation costs, ethical and legal concerns, and the need for seamless integration with existing healthcare systems. Despite these challenges, robotics offers immense potential to enhance healthcare delivery, improve access in remote areas, and reduce human error.
