Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in healthcare has heralded a transformative era, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance patient care, streamline processes, and augment medical professionals' capabilities. This review article examines the burgeoning influence of AI robotics in healthcare, encompassing various applications, benefits, challenges, and future prospects. We delve into the role of AI robotics across medical diagnosis, surgical interventions, rehabilitation, patient monitoring, and drug discovery. Additionally, we explore the ethical considerations, regulatory frameworks, and societal implications shaping the adoption and advancement of AI robotics in healthcare. By synthesizing current research and real-world implementations, this review elucidates the profound impact of AI robotics, paving the way for a revolutionized healthcare landscape.
