Medical robots are a large category of concepts. All kinds of robots used in the medical field can be called medical robots in a broad sense, including surgical robots, nursing robots, rehabilitation robots, and stem cell robots. The medical robot is an intelligent service robot, which can independently compile the operation plan, determine the action program according to the actual situation, and then turn the action into the movement of the operating mechanism.

　　According to different uses, medical robots can be divided into hospital distribution robots, mobile patient robots, clinical medical robots, rehabilitation robots, nursing robots, medical teaching robots, etc.

 

 

　　hospital delivery robot

　　The hospital delivery robot uses a mobile robot as a carrier. It is an unmanned automatic handling system powered by batteries and fully autonomous navigation.

　　The logistics method of traditional hospitals is that the transmission of various items in the hospital is basically completed by patients, medical staff or full-time delivery teams. There is no clear distinction between the flow of people and the flow of logistics. There is the potential for cross-infection of various personnel and the phenomenon of items being contaminated, damaged, and lost.

　　It is for various reasons that in the past two years, logistics robots have gradually begun to emerge in some large hospitals.

　　The intelligent delivery robot is mainly responsible for delivering medicines, delivering meals to the quarantine area, and recycling linens and medical waste in the hospital. Through the intelligent scheduling of the "brain" control center, they can realize functions such as autonomous opening and closing of doors, autonomous elevator rides, autonomous obstacle avoidance, and autonomous charging, without the need for personnel to operate.

　　Ultraviolet disinfection lamps are installed in the robot cabinet, which can keep the box and items safe at any time. The robot also has the function of remote real-time voice and video communication, and can communicate directly with nurses or patients in the isolation ward through the dispatch system. The medicine delivery robot can replace the nurses to deliver meals, medical cases and laboratory tests.

　　mobile patient robot

　　The mobile patient robot is a kind of auxiliary robot, which mainly helps nurses to move or transport paralyzed and disabled patients. At present, the medical demand of such robots is the weakest.

　　Clinical medical robot

　　Clinical medical robots include surgical robots, diagnosis and treatment robots, which can perform precise surgical operations or diagnosis, such as Japan's WAPRU-4 chest tumor diagnosis robot; the American surgical robot "Da Vinci System", etc., are medical robots. 's top priority.

　　The first robotic-assisted surgery was performed in 1985, when an industrial robot was used to stabilize a patient's head for neurosurgical drilling and insertion of a tissue sampling needle into the desired location.

　　The "Da Vinci" robot is the most well-known in the industry, and its success is partly due to its approval by the FDA to enter the clinic; domestic Tianzhihang has also obtained the surgical robot medical device registration issued by the State Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). It has become the only orthopaedic robotic system capable of carrying out trauma orthopedics and spine surgery in the world.

　　rehabilitation robot

　　Rehabilitation robots are mainly robots for the disabled, which can help the disabled to restore their ability to live independently. Rehabilitation robot is a combination of industrial robot and medical robot. Its research runs through many fields such as rehabilitation medicine, biomechanics, mechanics, mechanical mechanics, electronics, materials science, computer science and robotics, and has become an international robotics field. a research hotspot. At present, the research on rehabilitation robots mainly focuses on rehabilitation manipulators, hospital robot systems, intelligent wheelchairs, prosthetics and rehabilitation therapy robots; it not only promotes the development of rehabilitation medicine, but also drives the development of new technologies and new theories in related fields.

　　Nursing Robot

　　Nursing robots not only have the ability to see, hear, smell, etc., but also carry people on their backs and take care of the elderly. In terms of functional design, they fully consider the characteristics and needs of the elderly and disabled bedridden people to achieve humanized and intelligent. Highly integrated.

　　Medical Teaching Robot

　　Medical teaching robots are ideal teaching aids, such as a teaching robot called "Noel" developed in the United States, which can simulate a pregnant woman about to give birth, and even speak and scream. By simulating real delivery, it helps to improve the surgical cooperation and on-the-spot response of obstetrics and gynecology medical staff.

　　There are many types of medical robots in my country, including rehabilitation robots, auxiliary robots, surgical robots, non-therapeutic service robots and other robots. Among them, rehabilitation robots account for the main proportion, accounting for 42%, followed by auxiliary robots, accounting for 17%, surgical robots accounting for 16%, and non-therapeutic service robots accounting for 8%.

　　In terms of the distribution of medical robot companies, my country's medical robot companies are mainly distributed in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiangsu and other cities, and the number of companies accounts for more than half of the total. The main reason is that the medical equipment field in the first-tier cities has a complete industrial chain, rich market channels.
