Abstract

Medical service robots are variously defined and classified by researchers and related government departments, but surgical robots and rehabilitation robots are commonly included in medical service robots, and except for these, the robots are classified as other medical service robots. In this study, domestic and foreign development trends and use cases were considered, focusing on logistics, guidance, and drug processing robots among other medical service robots. Logistics and guidance robots were developed quite a lot in Korea and completed a pilot project, or are being commercialized in hospitals, and exported. However, although the drug prcocessing robots was developed in Korea, the robot being use in the hospital was an imported. In order to expand and activate the robot market, systematic follow-up studies such as demand prediction studies are needed.

의료서비스 로봇은 연구자 및 정부 관계부처들을 통해 다양하게 정의 및 분류되고 있으나 수술로봇과 재활로봇은 공통적으로 의료서비스 로봇에 포함되며, 이를 제외한 로봇은 기타 의료서비스 로봇으로 분류되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기타 의료서비스 로봇 중 물류, 안내, 약제처리 로봇을 중심으로 국내·외 개발동향 및 활용사례 등을 고찰하였다. 물류로봇과 안내로봇은 국내에서 상당수 제품으로 개발되어 병원 등에서 시범사업을 완료했거나 상용화가 진행 중이며 수출도 하고 있으나 약제처리 로봇은 국내에서 개발된 제품이 있음에도 불구하고 병원에서 활용 중인 제품은 수입품이었다. 물류, 안내 및 약제처리 로봇은 생산인구의 감소 및 코로나19로 인한 비대면 수요 증가 등에 대응하기에 비교적 상용화가 용이하고 비용 효과적인 로봇이나 이러한 로봇에 대한 수요 예측 연구 등을 찾아보기 어려우므로 시장 확대와 활성화를 위해 체계적인 추후 연구가 필요하다.
