Abstract

Objective: To study the development of surgical robots at home and abroad in recent years.

Methods: Through a large number of literature review and analysis, the qualification approval and technical function characteristics of domestic and foreign surgical robots from January 2019 to July 2022 were analyzed.

Results: The related situations of 39 surgical robots were analyzed and reported, and the shortcomings and future development direction of the current surgical robots were summarized.

Conclusions: The development of surgical robots in China is now in a rapid development stage. At present, surgical robots generally have the disadvantages of high cost, lack of tactile feedback (force feedback), large size, large space occupation and difficult to move. In the future, it will develop towards intelligent, miniaturized, remote, open and low-cost.

Keywords: endoscopic surgical robots; natural lumen surgical robots; neurosurgical robots; orthopedic surgical robots; panvascular surgical robots; specialized surgical robots; surgical robots.
