Introduction to Robotics and Generative AI in Healthcare

This chapter explores the growing impact of advanced technologies on modern medicine. It examines the key characteristics, advantages, and applications of both robotics and generative artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. The discussion highlights how robotic systems enhance surgical precision, improve patient care, and facilitate rehabilitation through greater accuracy, convenience, and safety. Additionally, it outlines how generative AI can accelerate drug discovery, tailor treatment plans, and generate synthetic medical data for research and model training. The authors further describe how the integration of these technologies is transforming clinical decision-making, patient diagnosis, and workflow management—ultimately enabling more personalized care and faster recovery for patients.
