With the rapid development of robots, technological breakthroughs and the gradual widening of application fields, the development of robots in the medical industry has attracted much attention. During the epidemic, UR robots also played a role in nucleic acid sampling, specimen monitoring and other fields. In this article, we will introduce some new applications of UR robots in the medical field.
1. The "AI camera" helps the UR mobile robot recognize the way

It is nothing new for robots to enter hospitals, but if mobile robots meet in narrow hospital corridors, it is very likely that they will not be able to advance and retreat from each other. To solve this problem, Denmark collaborative mobile robot manufacturer UR Robotics has developed AI cameras, which are trained to detect people and other obstacles, feed back to the UR robot on the truck, and it will command the robot to recognize "road conditions" and ensure that mobile robots in the hospital can assist in logistics and transportation.
2. UR robot multi-point multi-tasking

Most robots are developed for solving a single target in a fixed position. By combining a mobile platform with a robot arm and smart sensor technology, UR Robotics can provide a multi-platform and multi-task solution.
UR cobots are software-controlled, making it easy to set up different applications for different tasks, and sensor technology enables greater precision for more precise manipulation of objects. UR bots perform tasks based on final needs rather than on a fixed schedule.
UR robots are currently in use in industrial settings, but their unique capabilities make them particularly suitable for medical applications, such as assisting in the transport of blood samples, pathology samples, sterile equipment, etc., or helping to transport food for patients.
3. UR robot helps hospitals automate aseptic cleaning

In the hospital, there are sterilization and cleaning rooms, and this is where the UR robot's fully automated sterilization function comes into play, significantly improving the daily work of employees. The container containing the surgical equipment is transported by a mobile robot to the washing area, and after washing, it is transported by the mobile robot to the sterilization area.
Universial Robot, a system integrator in Denmark, equips all transported robot trolleys with tags to fully track and document the whereabouts of sterile equipment, allowing hospitals to automate aseptic cleaning.

Universal Robots – the working principle of the robot and its components
The manipulator is mainly composed of three parts: the hand, the motion mechanism and the control system.
The hand is a part used to grasp the workpiece (or tool), and there are various structural forms according to the shape, size, weight, material and operation requirements of the object to be grasped, such as clamping type, supporting type and adsorption type.
