Amedical robot is arobot used in themedical sciences. They includesurgical robots. These are in mosttelemanipulators, which use the surgeon's activators on one side to control the "effector" on the other side.^[1][2][3]

• Surgical robots: These robots either allow surgical operations to be carried out with better precision than an unaided human surgeon or allowremote surgery where a human surgeon is not physically present with the patient.
