Key Words	Robotic ultrasound; Telemedicine; Ultrasonography; Haptic device; Pandemic
Core Tip	Robotic ultrasound aims to provide remote ultrasound access through a robotic system. • This system allows the radiologist to manipulate the ultrasound probe remotely from a safe distant location, in a separate enclosure, thus ensuring the safety of the sonologist and negating the need for a PPE kit each time, specially in current covid pandemic. • System set up in an ICU could ensure the sonologist can perform the ultrasound without needing to enter the ICU. • Going forward, a distance transmission system may also be potentially developed such that patients can also access care at a convenient location without the need to travel long distances, further breaking the chain of transmission. • This can be invaluable in a setting where healthcare is not widely available, such as underserved rural areas.
