Robotics are being used in various ways in the medical field. Surgical robots can assist with surgeries to improve precision. Service robots help with routine tasks like transporting supplies to relieve the burden on healthcare workers. Social robots interact with patients for social engagement and monitoring to encourage compliance with treatments. Modular robots can assist patients with tasks like exercises to track their progress. Autonomous mobile robots can help with tasks like triaging patients to reduce risks for medical staff. Overall, robotics in healthcare provide benefits like high quality patient care, more efficient clinical workflows, and a safer work environment for both patients and staff.

2. What is Robotics?
“The branch of technology that deals with the design, operation & application of robots and computer system for their control, sensory
feedback & information processing.”

3. What can Robots do?
Robotics has really come into its own! From cooking dinner to performing surgery, robotic capabilities are rapidly expanding far beyond
the auto assembly line and into trades and tasks that once seemed impossible.

5. Robotics in Healthcare: The Future of Robots in Medicine
• Robots in the medical field are transforming how surgeries are performed,
streamlining supply delivery and disinfection, and enabling providers to focus
on engaging with and caring for patients. Intel offers a diverse portfolio of
technology for the development of medical robots, including surgical-
assistance, modular, and autonomous mobile robots.

6. What are the benefits of
Robotics in Healthcare?
Using robotics in the medical field enables a high level of patient care, efficient processes in clinical settings, and a safe environment for
patients and healthcare workers.

7. Benefits of Robotics in Healthcare
• High-Quality Patient Care
• Streamlined Clinical Workflows
• Safe Work Environment
• Surgical-Assistance Robots

Modular
Robots
A wheelchair-mounted robotic
arm currently being developed by
Intel and Accenture aims to assist
patients with spinal injuries in
performing daily tasks. When
robots are equipped with AI and
depth cameras, they can monitor
a patient’s form as they go
through prescribed exercises,
measuring degrees of motion in
different positions and tracking
progress more precisely than the
human eye.
Autonomous
Mobile
Robots
Some robots can assist
professionals before a patient is
checked in. For example, one
autonomous robot in Mexico,
developed by start-up Roomie, is
being used to help medical staff
with high-risk COVID-19 patients.
Named RoomieBot, it triages
patients by taking their
temperature, blood oxygen level,
and medical history when they
arrive at the hospital.
Service
Robots
Service robots relieve the daily
burden on healthcare workers by
handling routine logistical tasks.
Many of these robots function
autonomously and can send a
report when they complete a task.
These robots set up patient
rooms, track supplies and file
purchase orders, restock medical
supply cabinets, and transport
bed linens to and from laundry
facilities. Having some routine
tasks performed by service robots
gives healthcare workers more
time to focus on immediate patient
needs and can help with
increasing job satisfaction.
Social
Robots
Social robots interact directly with
humans. These “friendly” robots
can be used in long-term care
environments to provide social
interaction and monitoring. They
may encourage patients to comply
with treatment regimens or
provide cognitive engagement,
helping to keep patients alert and
positive. They can also be used to
offer directions to visitors and
patients inside the hospital
environment.
