Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotic surgical systems represent transformative technologies in modern healthcare, with profound potential for enhancing surgical precision, reducing operative risk, and improving patient outcomes. In the Indian context, research and clinical practice are increasingly exploring this convergence, encompassing both academic inquiry and real-world deployments. This paper synthesizes recent literature on AI integration with robotic surgery, highlights Indian research efforts, examines clinical case developments, identifies technical and ethical challenges, and discusses future directions for advancing AI-enabled surgical robotics within India’s healthcare ecosystem.
