An analysis of robotic technology implementation is presented in the article. The main parameters of robots are underlined that are necessary for their compatibility with diagnostic systems. Advantages and drawbacks of robotic systems in development and in use are noted. Fields are highlighted in which the application of robots-manipulators is most widely spread. Different models of robots are reviewed that are used with CT, MRI and US. Reviewed CT-compatible robots were Minerva and Neuromate robots-manipulators, existing robots Unimation Puma 200 Robot and FS-O2N and robots for specific surgical operations - MINI-RCM и RoboPoint. Reviewed MRI-compatible robots for wide specter of tasks were Manipulator for Interventional Radiology (MIRA), and robot MrBot with pneumatic motors. Reviewed robots that are used with US visualization were A465 robotic system and Gantry III Cartesian Robot Linear Motion System. Robot-manipulator compatible with different visualization systems that can be outlined is a universal robot that can be applied for different types of operation (B-Rob I). Concept of patient fixed robots was analysed (MiniAture Robot for Surgery).
