Healthcare Robotics

Healthcare robotics and AI are starting to change the day-to-day reality of medicine, whether that be in operating rooms, oncology departments, rehab centers, or hospital corridors.

This hub looks at what that really means. Where robotic systems are improving surgical precision. How AI is supporting earlier cancer detection and smarter treatment planning, including through national efforts like the National Cancer Plan. And how automation is quietly helping hospitals manage growing clinical and operational pressure.

VP-SERIES 5 and 6-Axis Articulated Robots from DENSO Robotics

VP-SERIES 5 and 6-Axis Articulated Robots from DENSO Robotics

The ultracompact VP-Series six-axis articulated robots offer the highest speed and repeatability in their class. Their small footprint of only 160 x 160 mm (200 mm dia. for the cleanroom models) saves valuable facility space and makes integration easy, yet despite their size, they have a large payload capacity.

Could This Simple Robot Outmaneuver a Human Hand?

Could This Simple Robot Outmaneuver a Human Hand?

The human hand is a dexterous and versatile machine. Scientists have conventionally tried to replicate these traits in robots by copying the biological mechanics of the hand, resulting in complex and difficult-to-control structures.

Expansion of Pioneering Robotic Surgery Training Programme Announced

Expansion of Pioneering Robotic Surgery Training Programme Announced

The Shelford Group has announced a major expansion of its pioneering Surgical Training in Advanced Robotic Technology (START) programme, extending accredited, platform-agnostic robotic surgery training to surgical trainees across the South East of England. Already available in the North East, North West and East of England, START will now be offered in Thames Valley, Wessex and Kent, Surrey and Sussex from the 2026/27 academic year.
