“…Most of the surgical end effectors are designed for single use only [16]. Service robots must be sterilized from time to time so that they do not become infective carriers [20]. Cooking robots have their separate protocol for cleaning, as they are washable after use.…”

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.

“…Characteristics such as small batch size, high frequency (personalized), two-way circulation (unused consumables retrieval), inventory sales (sales completed after use), and strict supervision all pose new demands on the traditional hospital transportation mode of "personnel + handcart + elevator", especially when considering the misdelivery, omission, and damage caused by manual distribution. How to achieve fast, safe, and traceable distribution of high-value consumables is a problem that every hospital must face and solve [12,13].…”

In recent years, with the continuous expansion of hospital scale and the development of technology, the demand for intelligent logistics in hospitals has become increasingly urgent, especially in operating rooms, efficient consumable logistics can make the surgical process smoother, more efficient and safer. This paper selects Shenzhen People's Hospital as the experimental site, and selects the operating room consumable logistics data from November 2021 to March 2022, comparing the average logistics distribution time of surgical consumables under three modes: manual delivery, single robot delivery, and multi-robot collaborative delivery. The experiment shows that the average time of using multi-robot collaborative distribution is 2.7 minutes/time, compared with manual distribution, the efficiency has increased by almost 100%.

“…Most of these are minimally invasive procedures; for example, operating a complicated robot arm by controlling its operation remotely by a surgeon sitting on a workstation outside the operating room is the hallmark of a teleoperated robot for surgery. Advanced robots have been developed to enable surgeons to obtain the spatial references needed for highly complex surgical interventions [6]. Robots are used to perform surgery in a variety of procedures.…”

In this era of post-COVID-19, humans are psychologically restricted to interact less with other humans. According to the world health organization (WHO), there are many scenarios where human interactions cause severe multiplication of viruses from human to human and spread worldwide. Most healthcare systems shifted to isolation during the pandemic and a very restricted work environment. Investigations were done to overcome the remedy, and the researcher developed different techniques and recommended solutions. Telepresence robot was the solution achieved by all industries to continue their operations but with almost zero physical interaction with other humans. It played a vital role in this perspective to help humans to perform daily routine tasks. Healthcare workers can use telepresence robots to interact with patients who visit the healthcare center for initial diagnosis for better healthcare system performance without direct interaction. The presented paper aims to compare different telepresence robots and their different controlling techniques to perform the needful in the respective scenario of healthcare environments. This paper comprehensively analyzes and reviews the applications of presented techniques to control different telepresence robots. However, our feature-wise analysis also points to specific technical, appropriate, and ethical challenges that remain to be solved. The proposed investigation summarizes the need for further multifaceted research on the design and impact of a telepresence robot for healthcare centers, building on new perceptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
