ABSTRACT: Usage of AI in almost all sectors of the economy has significantly boosted the growth rate of the country. But even after implementation, the knowledge and awareness of people about such technology is scarce in countries like India. One such important example is Robotic surgery, also known as robot assisted surgeries in the Healthcare sector. To understand the popularity of Robot assisted surgeries and to find the differences between the Robot assisted surgeries, and traditional surgeries are the major objectives. This paper strictly focuses on the awareness of the public regarding the concept of Robotic Surgery in Tamil Nadu, and the scope in the future, along with the advantages and disadvantages of it. For this purpose of this study secondary data collection is done from journals and literature review and primary data collection is being collected from 105 sample respondents through the convenient sampling method for which a well-structured questionnaire was curated. Upon the findings of the study, awareness amongst the older generation regarding such procedure is comparatively lower than the younger generations and people are more dependent upon the online sources to search upon on their health concerns. People think that the main disadvantage of RAS is that it is very costly and that there are chances of technical malfunction.
