Robot-assisted surgery or robotic surgery are any types of surgical procedures that are performed using robotic systems. Robotically assisted surgery was developed to try to overcome the limitations of pre-existing minimally-invasive surgical procedures and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery.
A robot surgical system generally consists of one or more arms (controlled by the surgeon), a master controller (console), and a sensory system giving feedback to the user. [1] [2] Remote surgery combines elements of robotics, telecommunications such as high-speed data connections and elements of management information systems.

Medical technologists today are increasingly integrating AI into robotic surgery systems. These advancements involve real-time processing of data, such as providing surgeons with tactile feedback ...
A laparoscopic robotic surgery machine. Patient-side cart of the da Vinci surgical system. A medical robot is a robot used in the medical sciences. They include surgical robots. These are in most telemanipulators, which use the surgeon's activators on one side to control the "effector" on the other side. [1] [2] [3]

A team of Earth-based doctors have performed the first ever remote-controlled surgery in space using a robot aboard the International Space Station (ISS).. The successful procedure, which saw ...
A surgical robot is a mechanical device (generally looking like a robotic arm) that is computer-controlled. Robotic surgery can be divided into three types, depending on the degree of surgeon interaction during the procedure: supervisory-controlled, telesurgical, and shared-control. [2]
