Robotic Drug Delivery in the Healthcare Sector
Mishthi Rastogi, Jagjeevan Kanoujiya, Bhakti Agarwal · 2025
This paper examines the role of robotics in healthcare, with a focus on robotic drug delivery systems. Robotics has significantly advanced drug administration by improving precision, reducing side effects, and increasing patient compliance. Technologies such as RoboCap and PillCam have revolutionized drug delivery by being able to deliver treatment where other methods cannot reach. Pill like robotics can enter the GI tract by swallowing where they perform drug delivery and diagnostics better than conventional practices. It also looks at the applicability of microrobotics in minimally invasive surgeries, which therefore can include targeted drug delivery. However, challenges remain, especially in controlling robotic devices within the body. Ethical concerns, costs, and technical issues need addressing as these technologies evolve. Future research should focus on refining control systems and AI to further enhance robotic drug delivery and improve healthcare outcomes, particularly in underserved regions like India.
