Abstract
Humanoid robots have evolved over the years and today it is in many different areas of applications, from homecare to social care and healthcare robotics. This paper deals with a brief overview of the current and potential applications of humanoid robotics in healthcare settings. We present a comprehensive contextualization of humanoid robots in healthcare by identifying and characterizing active research activities on humanoid robot that can work interactively and effectively with humans so as to fill some identified gaps in current healthcare deficiency.
Highlights
The use of robots for surgery has given rise to a large number of new methods which has led to the emergence of a wide variety of robots for use in the medical domain. [1] Points out numerous research areas in the application of robotics in healthcare settings
We propose a broad overview of some of the current and potential applications of robotics in health care settings and we carefully selected some robots for patients care
Visual perception is fundamental to most robotics systems working in human environments, it is essential to a wide variety of tasks such as manipulation, tracking, human–robot interaction [26]
Summary
The use of robots for surgery has given rise to a large number of new methods which has led to the emergence of a wide variety of robots for use in the medical domain. [1] Points out numerous research areas in the application of robotics in healthcare settings. [1] Points out numerous research areas in the application of robotics in healthcare settings. Such as robotic surgical Systems [2, 3], laparoscopy surgery and tele-rounding robots [4], robot-assisted rehabilitation [5,6,7], caregiver and patient‟s assistants [8,9,10], robotic applications in dentistry, bio-prosthetic [11]. Humanoid robots that could be used to remotely carry out tasks are very important Such robots are endowed with human capabilities to assist caregivers and patients in contaminated environments. We propose a broad overview of some of the current and potential applications of robotics in health care settings and we carefully selected some robots for patients care
