There have been many developments in the applications and uses for robotic surgery. Some of these developments have made history in the medical field. Though there have been many developments, robotic surgery is a newer technology that has promise in the medical industry and is still developing. There are many companies in the world that are working on developing new technologies and machines that can help in the medical field. There are many medical facilities that are using robotics every day. There are some procedures that are done today solely with robotics. These methods have become common practices. We will look at the history and development of robotic
