Medical simulation with the LBR iiwa
Together with the University of Bremen and Chemnitz University of Technology, FAKT Software GmbH and CAT PRODUCTION GmbH, KUKA is presenting an application for the simulation of one of the most challenging steps during an operation: implanting an artificial hip. Performing the operation in the virtual world with haptic feedback via the KUKA LBR iiwa lightweight robot is an important component in the training of future surgeons as well as in the planning stages prior to an operation.
