The Future of Robotics in Healthcare

Robotics and Innovation: New technologies will play an increasingly important role in the future of medical science. Together with our partners, we are advancing the use of medical robotics and bringing new ideas to market. After all, the age of robotics in medicine has only just begun.

Excellent prospects for KUKA robotics in healthcare technology

Radiation therapy, patient positioning, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation - the list of applications for medical robots and surgical assistance systems is long and far from exhausted. Large robots such as the KR QUANTEC HC, with their high payload capacity and precision, are indispensable components in medical technology but the future of medical robots lies with cobots such as the LBR Med. Whether in ophthalmology, hair transplantation, joint surgery, neurosurgery or dermatology, the prospects for innovation are limitless thanks to the development and use of robotic systems.
The medical robotics industry continues to grow, driven by new technologies, the increasing importance of AI in the medical industry, and the challenges of demographic changes.

KUKA robot technology and robotic software for medical device integration

Excellent conditions for increased AI-powered innovation in medicine

Artificial intelligence is transforming not only industrial robotics, but also medical technology. AI-based systems have great potential to harness complex technologies while making things easier for people - a true innovation. Healthcare robotics is very complex. Human operators of robots benefit from machine learning. This means that devices will be better planned and automated, making them easier to use. There are analytical, vision and data-driven software solutions that enable new applications and use cases. KUKA Robotics already has interfaces to the robot operating system for collecting and evaluating this data. These robots will continue to support physicians in surgery, diagnosis and treatment.

Medical robotics that expand access to better healthcare

LBR Med

The highly sensitive, lightweight, CB-certified robot can be easily integrated into robotic medical devices.

KR QUANTEC HC

A robot with high positional accuracy and rigidity is ideal for aligning heavy medical devices.

KUKA Sunrise.OS Med

Programming of demanding medical applications,?certified according to the?IECEE CB Scheme.

Future potential for medical device expansion

Multi-arm robots

In addition to the untapped potential of single-arm medical robotics, multi-arm systems offer opportunities that are growing quickly.

Nursing robots

In the healthcare industry, robots can be used to accurately deliver medications or monitor vital signs, freeing up medical staff.

Telemedicine

The science of telemedicine opens up a wide range of possibilities: Despite physical separation, consultation, diagnosis and monitoring are possible, as well as remote patient intervention through telemanipulation.

Digital twin of the operating room

The use of a digital twin of the operating room, mirrored in real time by sensor data, automatically improves robotic collision avoidance and path planning.

Robot-based diagnosis

There are many ways to further increase technology autonomy during treatment, such as the ARTHUR arthritis ultrasound system, which interacts with the patient to assist the physician in the process of diagnosis.

Digitization of surgical operations

As surgical procedures become more digitized, the protocols that devices use to communicate with each other during surgery continue to evolve. Target position data can be derived directly from image data, enabling robots to move precisely to the intended positions. KUKA already offers interfaces for systems that are prepared for such applications.
