Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of robotics in healthcare has provided both transformative opportunities and posed critical challenges. From surgical assistance and rehabilitation to patient monitoring and personalized care, robotics is revolutionizing medical practice, addressing workforce shortages, and expanding the availability of healthcare. However, the successful integration of these technologies requires various ethical, regulatory, and implementation-related challenges to be addressed.
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the evolving role of robotics in healthcare, showcasing research on human–robot interaction, AI-driven diagnostics, sensor-enabled robotic systems, and the impact of robotics on the accessibility and equity of healthcare. As healthcare demands grow, it is imperative to examine how robotics can enhance efficiency, safety, and patient outcomes.
By compiling interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection aims to foster innovation, discussions, and responsible advancements in healthcare robotics. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Robotics for medical procedures and surgery
- Human-robot interaction in healthcare
- Robotics in rehabilitation and assistive technologies
- Robotics for healthcare accessibility and equity
- Personalized medicine through robotic and AI-driven interventions
- Sensor-enabled robotic systems and automation
- Ethical, legal, and regulatory considerations in healthcare robotics
- Robotics for elderly and dementia care
- Future directions and innovations in healthcare robotics
