“…In order to carryout diverse tasks with high precision, reliability, and repeatability while minimizing the effects of external disturbances, the control of medical robotics is a challenging issue [17]. Moreover, while addressing the challenge of control and dexterity, designers need to allow sufficient degrees of freedom (DOF) for the end-effector to move in all the desired axes.…”

This paper describes the evolving role of robotics in healthcare and allied areas with special concerns relating to the management and control of the spread of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The prime utilization of such robots is to minimize person-to-person contact and to ensure cleaning, sterilization and support in hospitals and similar facilities such as quarantine. This will result in minimizing the life threat to medical staff and doctors taking an active role in the management of theCOVID-19 pandemic. The intention of the present research is to highlight the importance of medical robotics in general and then to connect its utilization with the perspective of COVID-19 management so that the hospital management can direct themselves to maximize the use of medical robots for various medical procedures. This is despite the popularity of telemedicine, which is also effective in similar situations. In essence, the recent achievement of the Korean and Chinese health sectors in obtaining active control of the COVID-19 pandemic was not possible without the use of state of the art medical technology.

“…Several major review publications cite the dVRK and study the literature in RMIS-related topics. Comprehensive reviews on the state of the art of RMIS and future research directions were presented in [52], [53], [125], [138], [140], [141], and [240]. Works like [137] and [139] reviewed the general aspects of autonomy in robotic surgery, while [81] and [217] focused on the human aspects in control and robotic interaction.…”

This article has been accepted for inclusion in a future issue of this journal. Content is final as presented, with the exception of pagination.R obotic-assisted surgery is now well established in clinical practice and has become the gold-standard clinical treatment option for several clinical indications. The field of robotic-assisted surgery is expected to grow substantially in the next decade, with a range of new robotic devices emerging to address unmet clinical needs across different specialties. A vibrant surgical robotics research community is pivotal for conceptualizing such new systems as well as for developing and training the engineers and scientists to translate them into practice. The da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK), an academic and industry collaborative effort to repurpose decommissioned da Vinci surgical systems [Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISI), California, USA] as a research platform for surgical robotics research, has been a key initiative for addressing a barrier to entry for new research groups in surgical robotics. In this article, we present an extensive review of the publications that have been facilitated by the dVRK over the past decade. We classify research efforts into different categories and outline some of the major challenges and needs for the robotics community to maintain and build upon this initiative.

“…The first medical robots (specifically manufactured for medical application and not a modified industrial robot) have been introduced in operating rooms a few years later (in the late 1980s and early 1990s), mainly to assist surgeons for needle placement with the patient located inside an imaging system (see [26] for a recent detailed historical review), but their rise happened with teleoperated robots for Laparoscopy, where the need of controlling the endoscope was the first widespread robotic application. To understand this craze, it is necessary to distinguish between remote operation robots, guidance robots, telerehabilitation, and robotic simulators for training hospital staff [27,28].…”

The advent of telerobotic systems has revolutionized various aspects of the industry and human life. This technology is designed to augment human sensorimotor capabilities to extend them beyond natural competence. Classic examples are space and underwater applications when distance and access are the two major physical barriers to be combated with this technology. In modern examples, telerobotic systems have been used in several clinical applications, including teleoperated surgery and telerehabilitation. In this regard, there has been a significant amount of research and development due to the major benefits in terms of medical outcomes. Recently telerobotic systems are combined with advanced artificial intelligence modules to better share the agency with the operator and open new doors of medical automation. In this review paper, we have provided a comprehensive analysis of the literature considering various topologies of telerobotic systems in the medical domain while shedding light on different levels of autonomy for this technology, starting from direct control, going up to command-tracking autonomous telerobots. Existing challenges, including instrumentation, transparency, autonomy, stochastic communication delays, and stability, in addition to the current direction of research related to benefit in telemedicine and medical automation, and future vision of this technology, are discussed in this review paper.
