Several industries have witnessed drastic changes due to robotics and medicine is not an exception. Just like how manufacturers depend on robots to minimise human errors and maintain product quality, even robots are used in the field of medicine to perform surgeries with high levels of precision and help patients live a normal life.

By embracing robotics, surgeons and hospitals can reduce human error, minimise recovery time, and reduce the duration of hospital stay. Eventually, they can enhance the quality of life of the patients. Also, robotic equipment lets surgeons perform minimally invasive surgeries like never before.
