Medical Robotics - Robots and Associated Computing Technology for Medical Applications

Abstract

We take birth, we live and finally we all die. During the short time we live, we all want to be happy. Happiness comes when you are healthy, more the healthier you are- more the happiness. There are various types of robots depending on the area in which they are made use of. Medical robots are used to assist doctors, surgeons and other healthcare workers. The most advanced aspect of medical robotics is surgical robotics, in which a robot actually performs surgery. It might be surprising to know that in few top hospitals the top performing surgeon might not be a human being. Apart from surgeries, robots can be used to perform various other jobs within the healthcare industry. In this paper, we see how robots can reduce the strain of healthcare workers by reducing and automation their job.
