Hansen Medical, Inc., the global leader in intravascular robotics, today announced further advancements in intravascular robotics combined with 3D imaging capabilities.
Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a leading global robotic exoskeleton company, announced today it acquired the gravity balancing arm technologies of Equipois, LLC, including the zeroG™ and X-Ar™ products. The all-stock transaction is a strategic acquisition for Ekso Bionics that is intended to expand the company's exoskeleton capabilities in the industrial market.
As part of the National Robotics Initiative (NRI), the National Institutes of Health announced that it will fund the development of three innovative co-robots—robots that work cooperatively with people. Two of the robots will improve health and quality of life for individuals with disabilities, and the third will serve as a social companion for children that inspires curiosity and teaches the importance of hard work and determination. Funding for the NIH projects will total approximately $2.2 million over the next five years, subject to the availability of funds.
MEDTECH (Euronext, FR0010892950 – ROSA), a company specialized in designing, developing and marketing innovative surgical assistance robots, is proud to announce the sale of its first ROSA™ robot in the United Kingdom at London's Harley Street Clinic.
Siemens Healthcare has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Multitom Rax (Robotic Advanced X-ray), a universal diagnostic imaging system that enables a wide range of examinations in multiple clinical areas – from emergency medicine and interventional to pain management and orthopedics, and from conventional 2D radiography to fluoroscopy examinations and angiography applications – all in one room using one X-ray system.
Cambridge Medical Robotics Ltd, the private company developing a next-generation robotic system for universal minimal access surgery, today announces the completion of its surgical system prototype.
Physicians at Holy Name Medical Center are the first in the Northeast to use the Magellan™ Robotic System, which enables them to perform complex, yet minimally invasive, vascular procedures with extraordinary precision and speed. Holy Name is one of only eight hospitals nationwide using Magellan, proven to provide safe navigation through small vessels, allowing targeted treatments, reducing radiation exposure, and producing superior outcomes.
Will robots change the way people work, live and learn in the future? This question will be explored during European Robotics Week, which this year will be hosted by the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), a collaboration between the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol.
Trips and stumbles too often lead to falls for amputees using leg prosthetics, but a robotic leg prosthesis being developed at Carnegie Mellon University promises to help users recover their balance by using techniques based on the way human legs are controlled.
The Ebola virus epidemic in 2014 demonstrated that deadly pathogens can and do cross borders, creating challenges of preparedness for hospitals and healthcare workers. It is critical that healthcare facilities have tools at their disposal that can help combat high risk pathogens. And while the risk of a patient contracting Ebola at a U.S. hospital is low, hundreds of people die every day from hospital acquired infections (HAIs) from microorganisms that are rampant in healthcare facilities, such as Clostridium difficile and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
