Rehabilitation robotics is a field of research dedicated to understanding and augmenting rehabilitation through the application of robotic devices. Rehabilitation robotics includes development of robotic devices tailored for assisting different sensorimotor functions [1] (e.g. arm, hand, [2] [3] leg, ankle [4]), development of different schemes of assisting therapeutic training, [5] and ...
Zimmer Biomet Robotics, formerly Medtech SA, is a robotic surgery company founded in 2002 by Bertin Nahum and based in Montpellier, France (Hérault department, in southern France. This company designs, develops and markets robotic assistance for surgical procedures of the central nervous system and other applications such as the knee .
NeuroArm includes two remote detachable manipulators on a mobile base, a workstation and a system control cabinet. For biopsy-stereotaxy, either the left or right arm is transferred to a stereotactic platform that attaches to the MR bore. The procedure is performed with image-guidance, as MR images are acquired in near real-time.
The robots, referred to as SPRING (Socially Assistive Robots in Gerontological Healthcare), are designed to provide comfort to elderly patients and alleviate their anxiety, while reducing the ...
Nationwide has partnered with robotics company Labrador Systems to test a new generation of robots meant to help people remain at home.
A laparoscopic robotic surgery machine. Patient-side cart of the da Vinci surgical system. A medical robot is a robot used in the medical sciences. They include surgical robots. These are in most telemanipulators, which use the surgeon's activators on one side to control the "effector" on the other side. [1] [2] [3]
Previously called Cambridge Medical Robotics, it changed name in March 2018. [3] The Versius Surgical Robotic System is a rival of the established Da Vinci Surgical System and claims to be more flexible and versatile, having independent modular arms which are "quick and easy to set up". Some key patents for the da Vinci system have recently ...
Tendon-driven robots (TDR) are robots whose limbs mimic biological musculoskeletal systems. They use plastic straps to mimic muscles and tendons . Such robots are claimed to move in a "more natural" way than traditional robots that use rigid metal or plastic limbs controlled by geared actuators.
