Abstract

Robotic technology is transforming clinical operations by enhancing surgical precision, rehabilitation, patient care, and hospital logistics. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art applications of robots in clinical settings, including surgical systems, rehabilitation exoskeletons, telepresence robots, and automated supply delivery. These technologies improve operational efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes while reducing human error. Challenges such as high implementation costs, integration with existing clinical workflows, training requirements, and ethical considerations are discussed. The paper also presents a conceptual framework linking robotic innovations, clinical operations, and patient-centered outcomes. Future directions emphasize AI integration, collaborative robotics, and broader adoption in diverse clinical environments. This comprehensive review highlights the potential of robotics to revolutionize healthcare delivery while identifying key areas for research and policy development.
