Abstract

The “synergistic swarm” investigates the incorporation of multi-robot systems in healthcare, introducing a fundamental change in patient care and medical operations. This abstract emphasises the collaborative synergy achieved by intelligently coordinating several robotic entities, resulting in improved efficiency, precision, and adaptability in healthcare environments. By utilising cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence, robotics, and sensor networks, the system seeks to enhance many functions, including diagnostics and patient support, to their maximum efficiency. This chapter highlights the significant potential of combining different approaches to healthcare in order to improve the delivery of medical services. This could lead to more effective, patient-focused, and adaptable healthcare robotics in the changing healthcare industry.

Introduction

Automating daily operations by understanding the existing routines and practices, generally, it refers to software that imitates an online workforce and carries out repetitive tasks and responsibilities, reducing the requirement for social interaction. In today's competitive world of work, everyone strives to outperform their rivals in order to acquire a competitive advantage. Automating repetitive tasks with Multi-Robots/ Synergistic swarm (RPA) technology significantly enhances the profitability and efficiency of commercial organizations. Automation allows workers to focus on higher-level tasks, unleash their creativity, and devote themselves to advancing their knowledge and skills in the sector. Every Multi-Robots / Synergistic swarm project consists of three main stages: design, execution, and assessment and tracking (Alsamhi & Lee, 2020).

Multi-Robots / Synergistic swarm is considered a significant technological advancement that is capable, resilient, flexible, and reliable enough to make it feasible for use in major corporations. Experts predict that once Multi-Robots / Synergistic swarm (RPA) becomes stable and reliable in the next decade or two, it will lead to significant improvements in efficiency and effectiveness among the working people in terms of emergence of concept of synergistic swarm or Multi-robotic systems. Multi-Robotic system is an emerging technology, aims to provide a sustainable alternative that reduces costs and shipping times while improving the quality of firm operations It is an innovative technology that is increasingly being adopted in businesses that include monotonous activities. Businesses that employ Multi-Robots / Synergistic swarm experience decreased expenses and enhanced operational efficiency (Cao et al., 2022). Introducing Multi-robots to the medical field is an example of such an endeavor as presented in figure 1 below:

The purpose of this study is to shed light on Multi-robotics' significance in healthcare and to lay the groundwork for integrating various strategies to boost productivity and contentment in the workplace . The healthcare sector's operational efficiency has been greatly improved by the application of technology breakthroughs. By streamlining the processing of massive amounts of data, algorithms for machine learning have benefited the healthcare industry (Kaur, 2024).

As compared to the human mind, Multi-Robots / Synergistic swarm can acquire and recall a lot more quickly. This goes against what the human brain is capable of doing cognitively. Systematic optimization of the distribution of healthcare professionals, hospital beds, and resources is possible with the use of AI. Better operational efficiency and lower costs are the outcomes of this optimization (Cao et al., 2022).

The use of cutting-edge robotic technology has made distant surgical procedures a reality, expanding patients' access to highly specialized medical care. By collecting data on a massive scale, Multi-Robots / Synergistic swarm make it possible to study populations for trends and patterns. Multi-Robots / Synergistic swarm is utilized to do this. The management of healthcare for the general public might stand to benefit greatly from this. According to Troccaz et al., (2019), patients and medical professionals can receive continuous and immediate feedback about the patient's status thanks to robotic technology integrated into rehabilitation and prosthetic devices. Accordingly, it becomes easier to tailor rehabilitation programs to each patient's unique requirements, track their progress, and make adjustments as needed (Das et al., 2015).
