Runze Zhang · Applied and Computational Engineering · 2024
With the development of technology, the research and development of intelligent robots has extended into various fields. Among them, applications in the medical field are particularly prominent. The increasing demand for high-quality medical services and the continuous advancement of medical technology have also led to the continuous expansion of the global medical robot market. From 2010 to 2018, the global medical robot revenue grew from $1.361 billion to $2.8 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.44%; the sales volume of medical robots grew from 932 units to 5,100 units, with a compound annual growth rate of 23.67%. In China, investment in medical robots has also seen substantial growth. From 2016 to 2019, the market size of China's medical robot industry grew annually at a rate of 28.82%. In 2020, the market size of medical service robots in China reached 5.94 billion yuan, and in 2021, the market size of medical robots in China reached 7.96 billion yuan. Therefore, this article studies the current application of intelligent robots in the medical field. This paper adopts the research method of theoretical analysis. The development of intelligent robots in the medical field has become increasingly mature, with the status and role of medical robots becoming increasingly important, functioning as an indispensable component of the sector.
