Robotics in medical applications

"Robots are already saving lives if not thousands but hundreds at a time." A revolution of robotics in health sector that will prove in an age of austerity, ageing and expanding populations and medical staff shortages. With its once sky-high cost, the economics of advanced medical technology did not allow for any fast integration  into our cash-strapped public hospitals or even the better-offs private institutions. Should current trends continue, the global need-based shortage of health-care workers is projected to be still more than 14 million in 2030, according to World Health Organisation estimates. Despite the increase in medical robotics, we re not yet within the realms of seeing surgeons made redundant by robots. However, rapid advancements in technology repeatedly remind us to rule-out no possibilities.

How many of us are comfortable with medical surgery conducted by a robotic surgeon? But it is becoming quite common across the field of medical science to include robotic assistance that can improve accuracy, persistence, labor all at the same time. So, here are few recently developed robots currently being implemented in hospitals and treatment centers to improve quality of care and patient outcomes. The da Vinci Surgical Robot  : system gives surgeons more precise control for a range of procedures. Using magnified 3D high-definition vision and controls that strap to a surgeon's wrists and hands, the da Vinci  makes tiny, exact incisions that human hands might not otherwise be able to make. This offers enhanced control to surgeons and, since the surgery is less invasive than traditional surgery, a faster healing time for patients.   Xenex Germ-Zapping Robot  :  HAIs often occur because hospitals can't always clean rooms with 100 percent st...

ROBOTICS is a continuously evolving field and day-by-day we are seeing new innovations in this field. Robotics has proven to be particularly useful in the healthcare sector where it can  be used to perform a wide variety of tasks like complex surgeries,care for elderly,disinfecting robots,etc.  Here I would like to list a few companies which have made quite an advancement in robotics application for healthcare. 1. INTUITIVE SURGICAL:                                   It is one of the top companies which builds surgical robots. In fact the most commonly used Surgical robot the da Vinci Surgical System was introduced by Intuitive Surgical and since than has been used for more than 3 million minimally invasive procedures in various surgical specalities.The product features a magnified 3D high definition vision system and tiny wristed instrument which bend and rotate far greater than human ...

ROBOTICS has a wide application in the healthcare sector ,thanks to their precision ,ability to do the monotonous work like washing the hospital floors ,supplying medicines between different floors of the hospital.Thus the healthcare robots can be used to perform the monotonous tasks and thus giving time to nurses to look after the patients and their well-being.               Here are few more applications of robotics  in the Healthcare domain: ROBOTS FOR DISINFECTING HOSPITAL ROOMS :    Hospital acquired infections are one of the leading cause of death in US and it is been reported that 1 in 25 people will contract HAI .Thus to solve this problem, Xenex a Texas based company produced a robot which uses Ultraviolet rays(UV) to disinfect hospital floors quickly and efficiently.In this way robotics can be used to decrease the human workload and for disinfecting the room.                ...

2. Rehabilitation Robots  These play a crucial role in the recovery of people with disabilities, including improved mobility, strength, coordination, and quality of life. These robots can be programmed to adapt to the condition of each patient as they recover from strokes. 3. Medical Transportation Robots  Supplies, medications, and meals are delivered to patients and staff by these robots, thereby optimizing communication between doctors, hospital staff members, and patients. 4.sanitation and  Disinfection Robots  With the increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria and outbreaks of deadly infections like Ebola, more healthcare facilities are using robots to clean and disinfect surfaces

 as a result wide range of robots being developed in to serve the verity of role within medical environment. robot specilising in human treatment is surgical treatment robot  and rehabilitation robot.  rehabilitation robot can help patient from strokes , emphatic robot can assist in  care elderlyof  people  and  physically mental patients.  so  below there are some robots which is used day by day in medicine today. 1. sergical assistant   these remote controlled robot  assist sergons with performing iperations, typically inhasive procedures.  The ability to manipulate a highly sophisticated robotic arm by operating controls, seated at a workstation out of the operating room, is the hallmark of  surgical robots ,”

The word robot (from the Czech word robota meaning compulsory labor) was defined by the Robotic Institute of America as “a machine in the form of a human being that performs the mechanical functions of a human being but lacks sensitivity.” One of the first robots developed was by Leonardo da Vinci in 1495; a mechanical armored knight that was used to amuse royalty. This was then followed by creation of the first operational robot by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801, in which an automated loom, controlled by punch cards, created a reproducible pattern woven into cloth. Issac Asimov further elucidated the role of robotics in 1940 through short stories; however, it was his three laws of robotics that received popular acclaim. The three laws state1) A robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm2)A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with First Law and 3) A robot must protect its own ...

How can a hospital or healthcare facility improve sterility and potentially reduce hospital-acquired infections? this type of question can have a common answer: utilise robotics technology. what is robotics?   Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots. While still a developing technology, Robotics in healthcare applications offer a way to control costs while potentially providing better care. Here are some of the most promising robotics in healthcare applications: why robotis needed?   as we know day by day technology increases so that robotics is also one of the most technology needed in this current time.  day by  day new new technology coming , robots are taking place of human , by that work will  be faster . robot can do work faster than human . as robot is programmed by human but  robot do tasks faster than human and do more task at a time. 1.speed ...

 Welcome to Robotics in Medical Application...... Here we go... Robotics is a branch of engineering and scienc e  that includes electronics engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science and so on. This branch deals with the design, construction, use to control robots, sensory feedback and information processing. These are some technologies which will replace humans and human activities in coming years. These robots are designed to be used for any purpose but these are using in sensitive environments like bomb detection, deactivation of various bombs etc. Robots can take any form but many of them have given the human appearance. The robots which have taken the form of human appearance may likely to have the walk like humans, speech, cognition and most importantly all the things a human can do. Most of the robots of today are inspired by nature and are known as bio-inspired robots. Robotics is that branch of engineering that deals with...
