The advancement of robotics in the context of medicine by Josephine Pastore https://padlet.com/jojopastore/ajziu9ruv5rk changing the world en-us 2019-05-01 19:40:29 UTC 2026-01-22 21:03:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://imgglb.padletcdn.com/v13/image?t=g_auto&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpadlet.net%2Ficons%2Fpng%2F1f916.png Introduction to robotics jojopastore https://padlet.com/jojopastore/ajziu9ruv5rk/wish/355946167 Technological development is leading to an “incredibly exciting” future for medical robots, their impact in the medical field is certainly undeniable.
Robotics is a stimulating and modern sphere in medical science, that involves many operations and big use of telepresence. The environment of study of telepresence indicates the technologies that allow an individual to sense, as if they were in another location, without being actually there. Robots are used in medicine to execute operations that are regularly performed manually by human beings. 
Although the clinical robotic systems used to date are assistive and lack any real autonomy, this will certainly change with the continuous evolution of technology. As the understanding of how to use robotics in the clinic matures, a deeper understanding of how to create more intelligent, more capable surgical robots will continue to develop.

Robotic arms were introduced and used for medical operations. Robotics initially had inferior quality imaging capabilities. During this period, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration also started exploring utilization of robotics for telemedicine. Telemedicine comprises the use of robotics by physicians for the observation and treatment of patients without being actually in the physical presence of the patient. As telemedicine improved, it started to be used on battlefields. During the close of the last century, medical robotics was developed for use in surgery and numerous other disciplines. Continued advancement in medical robotics is still in progress, and improved techniques are being developed.

Robots specializing in human treatment include surgical robots and rehabilitation robots. The field of assistive and therapeutic robotic devices is also expanding rapidly. These include robots that help patients rehabilitate from serious conditions like strokes, empathic robots that assist in the care of older or physically/mentally challenged individuals, and industrial robots that take on a variety of routine tasks, such as sterilizing rooms and delivering medical supplies and equipment, including medications.]]> 2019-05-01 19:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jojopastore/ajziu9ruv5rk/wish/355962403
