Drive systems for sample distribution

When it comes to performing a very large number of standardized tests, such as in the case of a mass test for COVID-19, there is no avoiding largescale, automated laboratories. The advantages of automation are obvious: it enables more reliable results with a much higher throughput. One important aspect for a successful laboratory automation is the transport of samples…

Exoskeletons & Prosthetics

Prosthetic devices are – in contrast to powered orthotics or exoskeletons – designed to replace a missing body part. Patients are relying on prosthetics as they have lost a limb due to trauma, disease (e.g. diabetes or cancer) or being born without it due to congenital disorders.

What are the challenges and trends in sewer robotics?

The machines and devices that work in the sewer require sturdy and durable technology on the smallest possible footprint. Standard solutions are rarely feasible, which is why we develop most of the components ourselves. In terms of operation, we are expecting an increasing shortage of expert personnel. So the idea is to replace humans with…
