Robotics began roughly 30 years ago in medical applications, but it is still
relatively young for biological applications. Because of the precision, accuracy and
reproducibility of robotic technology, robotic interventions in medical fields, such as
robotic surgery, can enable doctors to work inside the human body, which is either
non-invasive or minimally invasive, with improved surgical results. The importance of
medical robots in the medical sector is intended to deliver good outcomes to assist
people in doing complex tasks that need a significant amount of time, accuracy,
concentration, and other routines that cannot be accomplished solely through human
capability. Due to advancements in AI and IoT and their convergence to AIoT, the
potential of medical robots has tremendously increased in the healthcare industry. The
chapter outlines the various applications of robotics in the healthcare sector, including
surgical, rehabilitation, telemedicine, and diagnostic. The advantages of robotics in
Healthcare are highlighted, along with the discussion on the current and future
challenges in their deployment and adoption. The role of AIoT in enhancing these
healthcare robots' cognitive and other capabilities is also discussed. Finally, the future
of robotics in Healthcare is explored, including emerging trends and technologies, their
impact on the healthcare industry, and the potential for innovation and growth.
