Cobots: Discover the future of medicine
To technologically improve your laboratory or hospital, our cobots already offer solutions that are changing the way medical professionals work. By using these robotics, healthcare professionals can free themselves from routine tasks and instead focus on improving patient care or research. Cobots make this possible by bringing efficiency, precision and safety to everyday work. These technological assistants are specifically designed to work and interact seamlessly with your team. This reduces the workload while increasing the quality of patient care.
The advantages of cobots
Cobots are crucial for more efficient, productive work in the dynamic world of labour. These collaborative robots are more than a complement to human labour, they also offer specific benefits that make them an indispensable part of modern healthcare processes. For this reason, we rely on customisable cobots that are precisely tailored to your company's requirements, far from being limited to standard solutions.
- Cobots are flexible and versatile, easy to use for a variety of tasks - unlike traditional industrial robots. These often require extensive and costly conversions for new tasks.
- These robots also go hand in hand with your staff. This relieves employees of monotonous or ergonomically unfavourable tasks. This results in greater job satisfaction and less downtime, allowing specialised staff to concentrate on more complex and value-adding tasks.
- In addition, interactive robots offer a significant increase in product quality thanks to their precise execution of even complex and repetitive tasks. This also reduces the error rate.
The different types of cobots
Cobots are revolutionising the way we think about automation and collaboration in medical laboratories and hospitals. These collaborative robots are designed to work side-by-side with humans, performing a variety of tasks. The key to their success lies in their versatility and adaptability, allowing them to be customised to the specific needs of your medical facility. There are the power and performance-driven collaborative robots that stand out for their ability to safely engage in physical interactions with humans. These cobots are equipped with advanced sensors that enable an immediate response to touch or proximity, ensuring a safe working situation. Secondly, hand-guided cobots are characterised by their direct control by humans. They allow employees to guide the robot by hand, which is particularly useful for manually intervening in the operation of the cobot. Autonomous cobots, on the other hand, are able to navigate and fulfil tasks independently. These mobile laboratory robots can be programmed to move to different stations and thus relieve the staff.
Choosing cobots: what you should look out for
The integration of cobots in medical laboratories and hospitals is an innovative solution for optimising workflows and increasing efficiency. However, choosing the right automation solutions requires careful consideration. This ensures that the cobot fulfils the specific requirements of the medical laboratory or hospital.
Adaptability: In an environment characterised by a high variability of tasks, it is essential to choose a cobot that can be easily adapted to different work processes.
Safety: Opt for a collaborative robot that is equipped with advanced safety features, including precise sensor technologies, for safe human-machine interaction.
Integration with existing systems : A compatible interface that enables easy communication between the cobot and other devices in the lab or hospital is essential.
Cobots and humans: How the combination optimises work in laboratories and hospitals
In the advanced world of medical laboratories and hospitals, the co-operation between cobots and human staff forms a symbiosis of efficiency and precision. These collaborative robots have been developed to work hand in hand with medical staff. This results in higher work precision in laboratories and hospitals. Thanks to their ability to perform repetitive tasks with consistent accuracy, cobots help to minimise the error rate. This is particularly invaluable in medical diagnostics and drug preparation, where precision can be life-saving. At the same time, they allow medical staff to focus on more complex tasks by letting the cobots take over time-consuming routine tasks. This refocusing of the workforce on areas where human skills are essential increases job satisfaction and optimises patient care. Cobots help to create a safer working environment. In laboratories and hospitals where there is a risk of exposure to infectious substances or chemical reagents, collaborative robots can take over high-risk tasks.
The future of cobots: where is the trend heading?
The future of cobots in medical laboratories and hospitals is extremely promising as they declare a new era of technology. With the ongoing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, co-operative robots will increasingly be able to learn and act autonomously, ensuring closer and improved collaboration with humans. They are developing into indispensable partners in the work process.

FAQ – Cobots
How long does it take to implement a cobot in a medical laboratory or hospital?
The implementation time will vary depending on the specific requirements of your facility and the complexity of the tasks the cobot is going to perform. Our installation team will set up the cobot in 3 - 4 working days on your premises during ongoing operations to prevent downtime. Our application specialists will integrate the robots; commissioning is expected to take place within around 1 to 2 weeks.
What about the maintenance and updating of cobots
One of the outstanding advantages of cobots is that they are designed to operate with low to minimal maintenance by the MTAs and annual maintenance by Diabots.
Are cobots able to work safely with humans in confined spaces?
Yes, modern cobots are equipped with sophisticated sensors that enable them to adapt their movements precisely and safely to the presence and position of humans. Additional safety devices such as light barriers guarantee the safety of MTAs in co-operative use.
