The integration of robotics into healthcare represents a compelling frontier where technology and humanity intersect to redefine the delivery of medical care. As authors of “Robotics in Healthcare: Innovations and Challenges,” we are honored to present this comprehensive exploration of the transformative potential, current developments, and future prospects of robotics in the realm of healthcare. In recent years, advancements in robotics have revolutionized various industries, and healthcare is no exception. From robotic-assisted surgeries and rehabilitation therapies to telemedicine and robotic companions for patient care, the applications of robotics in healthcare are vast and evolving rapidly. Recognizing the significance of this convergence, we embarked on a journey to dissect the intricacies, innovations, and challenges inherent in the intersection of robotics and healthcare. This book is the culmination of extensive research, collaboration, and expertise from multidisciplinary perspectives. Drawing upon our collective backgrounds in medicine, engineering, and research, we endeavor to provide readers with a nuanced understanding of how robotics is reshaping the landscape of healthcare delivery, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Throughout the following chapters, readers will journey through the various facets of robotics in healthcare, exploring topics ranging from the fundamentals of robotic technologies to their applications across different medical specialties. We delve into the complexities of human-robot interaction, ethical considerations surrounding the use of robotics in healthcare, and the implications for patient outcomes, healthcare professionals, and healthcare systems at large. Moreover, we aim to foster critical discourse and inquiry by highlighting the challenges and limitations accompanying robotics integration into healthcare. From issues of accessibility and affordability to concerns regarding privacy, security, and the displacement of human labor, we confront the ethical, social, and economic dilemmas that accompany technological progress.

Dr. Ajay Prakash Pasupulla currently working as a Professor in the school of Medicine, College of Health sciences, Wachemo University, Hosanna, Ethiopia and obtained his Batchelor of Dental Surgery, BDS, in Karnataka, India, in 1997 with Bangalore University and Master of Dental Surgery MDS in Oral Pathology, 2001 with Dr. M.G.R Medical university India. He enrolled membership in Indian Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists in 2001 as a Life member. He was awarded the Best Scientific Publication Award in Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial pathology in 2004. Vol III, issue 1, article title with HLA DQ gene for human identification and was awarded the Best Scientific Paper in 2000, A melogenin gene marker for sex determination and Lip prints as a Best scientific paper Presentation in 2000, for perpetuating academie excellence and also best Scientific poster award in Hybrid Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma, 2006. He was an Executive committee member for Indian Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial pathology Association in India for a period of two years.

Under the mentorship of esteemed scholars such as Professor B.Sivapathasundharam and Professor Anjali A. Karande and Dr. GV Rao, chief staff Scientist Dr. Ajay Prakash embarked on a transformative research journey at prestigious institutions like the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics. His pioneering investigations into P53 expression in head and neck cancer and DNA fingerprinting techniques applied for Amelogenin gene typing and HLA DQ gene typing to human dental pulp have garnered global recognition for their ground breaking insights and applications.

As a trained oral pathologist and oral oncologist, Dr. Prakash’s research delves into the intricate mechanisms underlying cancer development and progression. His studies have illuminated the role of Langerhans cells in oral mucosa, oral lichen planus, and oral squamous cell carcinoma, offering invaluable insights into tumour microenvirenments and therapeutic strategies. Moreover, his exploration of p53 expressions in oral squamous cell carcinoma and pre-cancerous lesions has laid the foundation for targeted interventions and personalized treatment approaches.
