Abstract
The development of new technologies has contributed to the development of robot technology. Information technologies and sensor technologies gave the largest contribution to the development of robot technology. Parallel with their development, the development of robot technology took place. The development of service robotics comes along with the development of industrial robotics. Over 300 of service robots for non-production applications have designed as result of development of information technologies as well as the advancement in sensor and servo-drive technology. Service robots are designed to perform professional job tasks as well as for service used in areas of everyday life. One of the fields for service robots application is medicine. Medicine can be categorized as a scientific, research, human discipline—and thus, application of service robots in medicine represents a scientific contribution, due to a huge application of different robotic devices for various purposes, different technological achievements in various fields of medicine. These robotic devices are used to replace missing limbs, perform complex surgical procedures, serve patients in hospital rooms, perform laboratory tests, diagnose diseases, and help in rehabilitation after stroke. This paper will review the presence of service robots in medicine, as well as the application in various areas of medicine such as: surgery, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, distance treatment, serving patients, etc. We have conducted a comparative analysis of the service robots application in medicine with the service robots application in military industry, after which conclusions have been drawn.
