This short review focuses on the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) with robotics in the healthcare sector. It may have particular utility for India, which has limited access to healthcare providers for a large growing population and limited health resources in rural India. AI works with an amalgamation of enormous amounts of data using fast and complex algorithms. This permits the software to quickly adapt the pattern of the data characteristics. It has the possibility to collide with most of the facets of the health system which may range from discovery to prediction and deterrence. The use of AI with robotics in the healthcare sector has shown a remarkable rising trend in the past few years. Functions like assistance with surgery, streamlining hospital logistics, and conducting routine checkups are some of the tasks that may be managed with great efficiency using artificial intelligence in urban and rural hospitals across the country. AI in the healthcare sector is advantageous in terms of ensuring exclusive patient care, safe working conditions where healthcare providers are at a lower risk of getting infected, and perfectly organized operational tasks. As the healthcare segment is globally recognized as one of the most dynamic and biggest industries, it tends to expedite development through modernization and original approaches. The future of this lucrative industry is looking forward to a great revolution aiming to create intelligent machines that work and respond like human beings. The future perspective of AI and robotics in the healthcare sector encompasses the care of elderly people, drug discovery, diagnosis of deadly diseases, a boost in clinical trials, remote patient monitoring, prediction of epidemic outbreaks, etc. However, the viability of using robotics in healthcare may be questionable in terms of expenditure, skilled workforce, and the conventional mindset of people. The biggest challenge is the replication of these technologies to the smaller towns and rural areas so that these facilities may reach the larger segment of the entire population of the country. This review aims to examine the adaptability and viability of these new technologies in the Indian scenario and identify the major challenges.
