Human intelligence is undeniably one of the most remarkable gifts bestowed upon humanity by the divine creator. Humans are the most evolved species present on planet Earth. However, humans have some limitations. Human beings need rest, get fatigued, have limited skills and techniques, have great learning curve, and are emotionally driven. So, there was a need of the hour to shift towards machines, particularly in industries like manufacturing and increasingly in other sectors such as healthcare, and it is driven by several compelling reasons rooted in efficiency, safety, and technological advancements (Brunete et al. Sensors 21:2212, 2020). In recent decades, technological advancements have revolutionized various sectors, and none more so than the field of medicine. One of the most promising innovations in this regard is robotics. Robotics in healthcare represents a merging of cutting-edge engineering with the delicate intricacies of medical science, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance patient care, improve surgical outcomes, and streamline healthcare delivery (Kyrarini et al. Technologies 9:8, 2021a). This chapter explores the compelling need for robotics in the medical field, examining its current applications, benefits, challenges, and future potential.
