Robots are increasingly being adopted in healthcare to carry out various tasks that enhance patient care. This scoping review aims to establish the types of robots being used in healthcare and identify where they are deployed.
Technological advancements have enabled robots to conduct increasingly varied and complex roles in healthcare. For instance, precision tasks such as improving dexterity following stroke or assisting with percutaneous coronary intervention.
This review found that robots have played 10 main roles across a variety of clinical environments. The two predominant roles were surgical and rehabilitation and mobility. Although robots were mainly studied in the surgical theatre and rehabilitation unit, other settings ranged from the hospital ward to inpatient pharmacy. Healthcare needs are constantly evolving, as demonstrated by COVID-19, and robots may assist in adapting to these changes. The future will involve increased telepresence and infrastructure systems will have to improve to allow for this.

机器人在医疗保健领域的应用日益广泛，可执行各种提高患者护理水平的任务。本范围综述旨在确定医疗保健领域中使用的机器人类型，并确定其部署位置。
技术进步使机器人能够在医疗保健领域发挥越来越多样化和复杂的作用。例如，精确任务，如改善中风后的灵活性或协助经皮冠状动脉介入治疗。
本综述发现，机器人在各种临床环境中发挥了10种主要作用。两个主要作用是手术和康复以及移动辅助。尽管机器人主要在手术室和康复单元进行研究，但其他场景范围从医院病房到住院药房。正如新冠疫情所表明的，医疗保健需求在不断演变，机器人可能有助于适应这些变化。未来将涉及更多的远程临场感，基础设施系统将必须改进以实现这一点。
