Summary of Medical Robot Technology Development

In the past few decades, medical robots have developed rapidly. In this paper, medical robots are divided into the following categories based on the application of medical robots: neurosurgery robots, orthopedic robots, endoscopic surgery robots, instrutive robots, rehabilitation-assisted robots and capsule robots. The research and application status of typical surgical robots at home and abroad are briefly introduced, and medical 3D image modeling, virtual surgery simulation, open-source surgical systems, and remote surgery in complex environments involved in medical robots are studied. Key technologies were discussed, and the future direction of medical robots was pointed out.
