“…Another less conventional application was reported by Wolfe et al [81]. During laparoscopic robot-assisted resection of a urethral carcinoma with the da Vinci system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, USA), the authors used the robotic system to deliver high-dose-rate BT to the resected area, as the initially planned SBRT was deemed infeasible due to close proximity to an OAR.…”

Purpose of Review This review provides an overview of robotic systems in radiotherapy and radiosurgery, with a focus on medical devices and recently proposed research systems. We summarize the key motivation for using robotic systems and illustrate the potential advantages. Recent Findings. Robotic systems have been proposed for a variety of tasks in radiotherapy, including the positioning of beam source, patients, and imaging devices. A number of systems are cleared for use in patients, and some are widely used, particularly for beam and patient positioning. Summary The need for precise and safe delivery of focused high doses to the target region motivates the use of robots in radiotherapy. Flexibility in the arrangement of beams and the ability to compensate for target motion are key advantages of robotic systems. While robotic patient couches are widely used and robotic beam positioning is well established, brachytherapy robots are mostly considered in a research context.
