Abstract


Robotic technology has the potential to revolutionize the field of neurology by providing new methods for diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of neurological disorders. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the development of robotics applications for neurology, driven by advances in sensing, actuation, and control systems. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in robotics technology for neurology, with a focus on three main areas: diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. In the area of diagnosis, robotics has been used for developing new imaging techniques and tools for more accurate and non-invasive mapping of brain structures and functions. For treatment, robotics has been used for developing minimally invasive surgical procedures, including stereotactic and endoscopic approaches, as well as for the delivery of therapeutic agents to specific targets in the brain. In rehabilitation, robotics has been used for developing assistive devices and platforms for motor and cognitive training of patients with neurological disorders. The paper also discusses the challenges and limitations of current robotics technology for neurology, including the need for more reliable and precise sensing and actuation systems, the development of better control algorithms, and the ethical implications of robotic interventions in the human brain. Finally, the paper outlines future directions and opportunities for robotics applications in neurology, including the integration of robotics with other emerging technologies, such as neuroprosthetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. Overall, this review highlights the potential of robotics technology to transform the field of neurology and improve the lives of patients with neurological disorders.
