“…Medical robots have been reviewed in various papers since the 1990s [4][5][6][7]. Many such reviews are domainspecific, for example, focusing on surgical robots, urological robots, spine robots, and so forth [8][9][10][11][12][13]. For an overview of the basic science behind medical robots (e.g., kinematics, degrees of freedom, ergonomics, and telesurgery) along with a discussion of urologic robotic systems, see Challacombe and Stoianovici [14].…”

First used medically in 1985, robots now make an impact in laparoscopy, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, emergency response, and various other medical disciplines. This paper provides a review of medical robot history and surveys the capabilities of current medical robot systems, primarily focusing on commercially available systems while covering a few prominent research projects. By examining robotic systems across time and disciplines, trends are discernible that imply future capabilities of medical robots, for example, increased usage of intraoperative images, improved robot arm design, and haptic feedback to guide the surgeon.
