Ensuring Safe and Compliant Deployment of Medical Robotics
Medical robotics is not just a futuristic idea today. That’s why you now witness many robotic systems assisting surgeons, helping with rehab therapy, and automating hospital tasks, all over the world. As tech adoption continues to rise, regulatory pressure and liability risks also increase.
So, if you wish to deploy medical robotics, you need a clear strategy that protects patients, meets compliance standards, and strengthens operational safety from the get-go. [Read more…] about Ensuring Safe and Compliant Deployment of Medical Robotics
Cognibotics helps advance motion layer for AI-guided surgical robotics in CAISA
Cognibotics is contributing its motion software to the Vinnova-funded CAISA (Collaborative Artificial Intelligent Surgical Assistant) project as it enters the demonstrator phase.
In CAISA, Cognibotics provides the motion layer between AI-based perception and path planning modules.
In contrast to using the standard robot controller, Cognibotics solution enables the robot to be commanded in different ways as AI and planning modules require – supporting consistent, maintainable, yet dynamic instrument handling in a non-clinical paediatric heart surgery research testbed.

Robotics for good: Startups tackling social and environmental challenges
Robotics is most often discussed in terms of productivity, efficiency, and cost reduction. Factory automation, warehouse robots, and autonomous vehicles dominate the conversation.
Yet a quieter strand of innovation is focused elsewhere:
- on helping people live more independently;
- protecting fragile ecosystems; and
- responding to crises where human access is limited or dangerous.
This feature looks at a selection of startups and emerging technologies applying robotics to social and environmental challenges. The aim is not to romanticise the field, but to show how practical machines are being designed to solve problems that markets and policy alone have struggled to address.
