New technologies relating to robotics and digitization enable gentler and better treatment in medicine and healthcare and help to meet challenges such as demographic change or a shortage of skilled workers

Robotics has made its way into the healthcare sector and is indispensable today. This applies to everything from diagnostics and surgical procedures on patients to therapy. The possible applications are extremely diverse.

Axel Weber, Vice President of the Medical Robotics business unit at KUKA

The motto of the new round of the KUKA Innovation Award is therefore "Medical Robotics Challenge 2.0", with the focus on robotics concepts for diagnosis, rehabilitation, surgery, and many other forms of therapy. The applicants should look into the future of medicine with innovative and interactive methods to improve health and care. 

Major appearance at an international trade fair

An international jury will select the best ideas from all the entries. To implement their concepts, KUKA will provide the finalists with the KUKA Cobot LBR Med for the duration of the competition, which can be expanded with an NDI tracking system or a Roboception 3D vision system. The sensitive LBR Med is specially adapted to medical requirements and is particularly suitable for versatile assistance systems in medical technology thanks to its ability for human-robot collaboration.

The final teams will present their concepts to an international audience of experts at a major trade fair in 2025. The jury will then select the winner of the 20,000 euro Innovation Award.
