New technologies such as sensitive robotics are opening up new possibilities, particularly in medicine, for treating patients more gently and in a more tar-geted manner. KUKA's sensitive lightweight robot LBR Med, for example, is the first collaborative robot to be certified specifically for integration into a medical device, thus opening up new treatment options.
At the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society's flagship conference from May 29 to June 2, KUKA and partners will showcase innovative applications using the LBR Med, including a robotic magnetic endoscopy for painless colon cancer screening.
