Abstract
1. What are robots used in healthcare? Areas within healthcare which are starting to use robots include: telepresence, rehabilitation, medical transportation, sanitization and prescription dispensing. But we are most interested in collaborative robotics. We will be discussing the COBOT(Cordial Robot) applications. Most modern healthcare robots are especially designed for their target applications. 2. Is it possible to use robotics in medicine? Robotics in medicine can happen in many ways, here are some. Healthcare has been predicted as “a promising industry for robotics” for the past 45 years or more. Since as far back as 1974, researchers have been looking for ways to incorporate robotics into medical applications. 3. Is there a need for more surgery/telepresence/rehabilitation/medical transportation/sanitation and disinfection/medicine prescription dispensing robots? There is denitely a need for many more surgery robots, laparoscopic, endoscopic and nanorobots, as the technology allows more functionalities with miniature propulsion mechanisms. M.A. Zenati, M. Mahvash, from the science of medical robotics, 2012. 4. How are medical robots used to treat patients, reduce contact, and cure pain? Using the medical robots reduces the direct contact between the doctor and the patient, helps in reducing pain, by minimizing the need for more medication and longer hospital stays, allowing the person to return home by the therapy sooner without any spread of infection.
