A Scoping Review Regarding Robots' Role in Disease Treatment
Xingyue Chen · Applied and Computational Engineering · 2025
Robots are increasingly being integrated into disease treatment to perform a wide range of functions aimed at optimizing therapeutic outcomes. With the rapid advancement of science and technology, robots are undertaking increasingly complex tasks in medical interventions. For instance, robots achieve exact movements in minimally invasive surgery, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. In chemotherapy, they enable accurate drug delivery, reducing dosage errors to the lowest possible levels. Driven by factors such as the emergence of novel diseases and the growing complexity of medical demands, the field of disease treatment continues to evolve, and robotic technologies are poised to address these dynamic challenges. This review synthesizes pertinent literature sourced from the Google Scholar database, aiming to achieve two primary objectives: to categorize distinct types of robotic systems utilized in disease management and to clarify their corresponding application contexts. The systematically organized data not only furnishes innovative insights for scientific researchers, but also provides evidence-based support for clinical practitioners in selecting technological solutions, while concurrently supplying empirical foundations for governmental formulation of medical technology development strategies.
