Exploring the Intersection of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Healthcare: A Bibliometric Analysis
摘要
The rapid advancement of Robotics and AI in healthcare presents significant opportunities for diagnostics, automation, and patient management, yet research remains fragmented, with global disparities in adoption. This study analyzes research trends, key contributors, and innovations, mapping research evolution, leading countries, document types, and key themes to guide future advancements. A bibliometric analysis using Scopus and VOSviewer examined 1,161 publications with the search terms “Robotics,” “Artificial Intelligence,” and “Healthcare.” Research output grew from 10 publications in 2015 to 326 in 2024, with 30 papers indexed in early 2025, indicating sustained interest. India (339), the U.S. (193), and China (111) lead research contributions, followed by Italy, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Germany. Journal articles (359) dominate, followed by book chapters (249) and conference papers (229). Frequent keywords include “Artificial Intelligence” (687), “Robotics” (415), and “Machine Learning” (230), underscoring AI's expanding role in healthcare.
