1. Robotic Replacement in Healthcare (Robotic-Assisted Surgery)
Robotic replacement is widely used in orthopedic surgeries like knee, hip, and shoulder replacements. Instead of fully manual procedures, surgeons use robotic systems to assist them.

How it Works:
1.Pre-surgical 3D imaging helps create a personalized surgical plan.
2.Robotic arms guide the surgeon’s instruments with extreme precision.
3.The surgeon remains in control, but the robot ensures accurate cuts and implant placement.

Advantages:
1.Higher precision compared to manual surgery.
2.Smaller incisions → faster healing & less scarring.
3.Reduced risk of complications.
4.Better alignment of implants → longer-lasting joint replacements.

Examples of Robotic Systems:

1.Mako (Stryker) – for knee & hip replacements.
2.ROSA (Zimmer Biomet) – knee surgeries.
3.da Vinci Surgical System – used in multiple specialties.

2. Robotic Replacement in Industry & Workforce

Here, “robotic replacement” means automation replacing human labor in various sectors.

. Applications:

1.Manufacturing – robotic arms for welding, painting, assembling.
2.Logistics – warehouse robots (like Amazon’s Kiva robots) for sorting, packing, moving.
3.Healthcare service robots – automated medication dispensing, patient monitoring.
4.Agriculture – autonomous tractors, drones, crop harvesting machines
5.Customer Service – AI chatbots replacing call center jobs.

. Advantages:
1.Increased efficiency & productivity.
2.Reduced labor costs.
3.Ability to perform repetitive or dangerous tasks.

Challenges:
1.Job displacement & unemployment concerns.
2.High initial costs.
3.Dependence on technology & cybersecurity risks.
