Characteristics and Classification of Medical Robots

Robots were first introduced into the medical industry in the 1980s, and after more than 40 years of development, they are widely used in many fields such as critical patient transport, surgical and preoperative simulation, precise positioning operations for micro-injuries, endoscopy, and clinical rehabilitation and Nursing Medical robotics has become a new and cutting-edge academic field, which not only promotes the revolution of traditional medicine, but also drives the development of new technologies and theories. As a new technology application, the application of robotics will have a profound impact on the entire medical industry (Hou and Ma, China Med Dev Inform 6(1):48–50, 2013).
