Applications and Advances of Medical Robots in Surgery and Rehabilitation

Robots have become the mode of a growing signal of dealing with medical issues across the globe. The paper is a review of surgical and rehab robotics and offers a thorough overview of technological advancements and uses in clinical practice. The surgical robot section summarizes the processes by which these systems promote results of surgical operations through high accuracy in control and minimally invasive procedures, summarizes the clinical benefits that have been reported by these systems, and addresses future developments and future directions of automated systems. In the case of rehabilitation robotics, researchers evaluated the effectiveness of upper- and lower-limb exoskeletal systems in people with functional impairments with a particular focus on the critical importance of machine-learning algorithms to personalizing therapeutic interventions and evaluating training progress. The article also recognizes technical constraints and high costs as one of the major obstacles to increased use of medical robotics. It, therefore, proposes future endeavors to be directed at improving system acumen at minimized cost. The ultimate aim of the analysis will be to clarify how relevant robotic technology is in surgery and rehabilitation, thus serving as a good resource on future studies, practice, and policy. Keywords: surgical robots, rehabilitation robots, artificial intelligence.

Abstract

Robots have become the mode of a growing signal of dealing with medical issues across the globe. The paper is a review of surgical and rehab robotics and offers a thorough overview of technological advancements and uses in clinical practice. The surgical robot section summarizes the processes by which these systems promote results of surgical operations through high accuracy in control and minimally invasive procedures, summarizes the clinical benefits that have been reported by these systems, and addresses future developments and future directions of automated systems. In the case of rehabilitation robotics, researchers evaluated the effectiveness of upper- and lower-limb exoskeletal systems in people with functional impairments with a particular focus on the critical importance of machine-learning algorithms to personalizing therapeutic interventions and evaluating training progress. The article also recognizes technical constraints and high costs as one of the major obstacles to increased use of medical robotics. It, therefore, proposes future endeavors to be directed at improving system acumen at minimized cost. The ultimate aim of the analysis will be to clarify how relevant robotic technology is in surgery and rehabilitation, thus serving as a good resource on future studies, practice, and policy. Keywords: surgical robots, rehabilitation robots, artificial intelligence.
