Abstract
The article describes the advanced applications of medical robots in space medicine, for instance:
• building on-board training-simulators based on technologies of virtual reality, computer science and robotics that allow providing a production and maintenance of practical skills and techniques for emergency medical care during space flights for crew members;
• the use of manipulation robots in some emergency cases during free (autonomous) flights for robot-assisted surgery at certain diseases and injuries of crew members;
• creation of new robotic biotechnical complexes, additionally to existing medical means for prevention of disturbances of cosmonauts' health.
The approaches and solutions are based on the prototype used in ground conditions, taking into account the current practice of medical support of manned space flight and characteristics of health care to astronauts in flight.

Key words
Medical robotics, robot-assisted surgery, manned space flights.
