Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medical robots are bringing a new era to medicine. Advanced can perform diagnostic and surgical procedures, aid rehabilitation, provide symbiotic prosthetics replace limbs. The technology used these devices, including computer vision, image analysis, haptics, navigation, precise manipulation, machine learning (ML) , could allow autonomous carry out imaging, remote surgery, subtasks, or even entire procedures. Moreover, AI rehabilitation devices advanced individualized support, as well improved functionality mobility (see the figure). combination of extraordinary advances robotics, medicine, materials science, computing bring safer, more efficient, widely available patient care future. -Gemma K.
