Core Tip	Robotic liver transplantation represents a significant advancement in hepatobiliary surgery, combining minimally invasive techniques with enhanced precision, improved ergonomics, and superior intraoperative control. Robotic donor hepatectomy and graft implantation reduce morbidity, optimize vascular and biliary anastomoses, and support faster postoperative recovery. Integration of artificial intelligence and telemedicine offers real-time guidance, advanced surgical metrics, and predictive modeling, facilitating safer procedures and structured surgeon training. As robotic platforms evolve, they promise to redefine liver transplantation standards, emphasizing precision, safety, and improved patient outcomes.
