Medical Robotics Challenge: Apply now for the KUKA Innovation Award 2020
July 17, 2019
Researchers and entrepreneurs from all over the world are invited to submit ideas for medical robotics to the KUKA Innovation Award. The finalists will have the opportunity to present their concepts at the world's largest medical trade fair - and the winner will receive prize money of 20,000 euros.
The KUKA Innovation Award, launched in 2014, is entering its seventh round and will in 2020 be dominated by medical robotics: Researchers and young talents from all over the world can submit their innovative robotics ideas for diagnosis, surgery, therapy and rehabilitation until January 2020. The concepts must be implementable with a sensitive lightweight robot KUKA LBR Med, optionally expanded with a Roboception 3D vision system.

DEPLOYING YOUR ROBOTIC CELL
Let’s start by looking at the complete robotic cell deployment cycle, as shown in Fig. 13.
PREPARE
When you decide to deploy a robotic cell, it’s usually because you’re aiming to solve some issues in your company regarding productivity, quality, or output capacity.
In the project definition phase, you should identify the scope of your project. This includes:
- - The specific manual cell you intend to
- - The metrics you want to
- - A timeline for the...

The PFC200 Controller is a compact PLC for the modular WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM. Besides network and fieldbus interfaces, the controller supports all digital, analog and specialty modules found within the 750/753 Series.
Space for pushbuttons and switches is limited on many devices – especially when they must be both handy and user-friendly. This has previously led to compromises in this area – in terms of the design or quality. That’s why RAFI developed the LUMOTAST 16.
The i3 A Intelligent Control Station from IMO features a128 x 64 monochrome LCD display, a MicroSD data storage of up to 2GB, a real time clock, and comes with up to 1 CAN Port, 2 RS-232 / RS-485 and an optional ethernet port.
