摘要

An impressive growth of theoretical, methodological, and experimental advancements of robotic components and systems in healthcare applications has characterized the last three decades. Robots are able to support prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of human diseases. Several industrial medical robots exist, whose performance, reliability and affordability have made them true success stories and turned—in several cases—research concepts into gold standards in clinical care. This chapter will consider four representative domains of medical robotics: surgery, rehabilitation, limb substitution and assistive technology. In each of these domains, robots have reached a rather high level of maturity, so that very interesting and inspiring stories can be told on various aspects of their evolution. Based on these assumptions and objectives, the remainder of this chapter will address the following topics: (i) motivations for developing medical robots, (ii) robots for surgery, (iii) robots for rehabilitation, (iv) robots for limb substitution and (v) robots for assistive services.
