Abstract : Robots in Surgery and Rehabilitation: Medical Robotics (2026) provides a comprehensive overview of how robotic technologies are transforming modern healthcare. The book explains the fundamental concepts of medical robotics, including system design, sensors, actuators, and control methods, and then explores their applications in surgical systems, image-guided procedures, rehabilitation robotics, prosthetics, and assistive healthcare robots. It highlights how robotic systems improve precision, enable minimally invasive surgery, support patient recovery after stroke or injury, and restore mobility through advanced prosthetic and exoskeleton technologies. The book also discusses hospital service robots used for logistics, disinfection, and patient assistance. In addition, it addresses critical issues such as safety standards, regulatory frameworks, ethical considerations, and clinical validation. Through real-world case studies and evidence-based discussions, the book demonstrates how robotics is reshaping healthcare while outlining future directions such as AI-driven medical robots, micro-robotics, and more accessible robotic healthcare technologies.
