This paper investigates the impact of robotics on the medical sector, discussing the benefits and negatives of this new intervention. While robots have brought in certain efficiencies in the delivery systems, the human element and its reassuring presence, the cost of using robots, putting human life into the hands of an unresponsive machine, and the job loss that they might bring to a thriving sector are some of the huge concerns. Surgical robots, rehabilitation robots, and telepresence robots are all examples of medical robots. Their increasing use in health care is bound to alter the health care landscape, and it would be interesting to understand the long-term implications of this technology induction.
