Abstract

The world have experienced a severe human-health crisis as a result of the emergence of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which was declared a global pandemic by WHO. As close human-to-human contact can spread the COVID-19 causing virus, keeping social distance is now an absolute necessity as a preventative measure. At a time of global pandemic, there is a huge need to treat patients with little patient–doctor interaction by using robots. Robots can be characterized as machines that can execute a wide range of tasks with greater autonomy and degree of freedom (DoF) than humans, making it difficult to identify them from other machines. A wide range of equipment, sensors, and information and communication technology (ICT) are now part of the healthcare system, which has become increasingly complicated. Protecting front-line personnel from virus exposure is the primary goal of using robots in health care. The aim of this study is to emphasize the evolving importance of robotics applications in health care and related fields. This paper examines in depth the design and operation of a wide range of healthcare robots in use around the world.
