基础模型在提升医疗效率方面表现出色,但其在真实临床环境中对物理世界的感知、理解与交互能力有限,制约了其实际应用。近年来,具身人工智能(Embodied AI)作为新型物理交互范式,在复杂医疗场景中展现出潜力。随着研究快速推进,理解智能体如何作为一体化系统在临床中运行变得至关重要。然而,现有综述多聚焦局部功能,缺乏系统性整合。本文系统梳理医疗具身AI的核心组件,重点分析感知、决策与行动的协同机制,回顾代表性应用场景与相关数据集,剖析现实临床中的主要挑战,并展望未来研究方向。项目主页见:https://github.com/VMVLab/Medical_Embodied_AI_Paper_List。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Foundation models have demonstrated impressive performance in enhancing healthcare efficiency across a wide range of medical applications. Nevertheless, their limited ability to perceive, understand, and interact with the physical world significantly constrains their effectiveness in real-world clinical workflows, where safety-critical decision-making and physical execution are tightly coupled. Recently, embodied artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising physical-interactive paradigm for intelligent healthcare, enabling agents to operate in complex medical environments. As research in this area rapidly expands, understanding how intelligent agents function as integrated, end-to-end systems in clinical environments becomes increasingly critical. However, existing surveys on medical embodied AI largely emphasize individual aspects or functional components, lacking a unified system-level organization of the field. To support and consolidate recent advances, we systematically survey the core components of medical embodied AI, with a particular emphasis on the coordinated integration of perception, decision-making, and action. We further review representative medical applications and relevant datasets, and we analyze the major challenges encountered in real-world clinical practice. Finally, we discuss key directions for future research in this rapidly evolving field. The associated project can be found at https://github.com/VMVLab/Medical_Embodied_AI_Paper_List.
