Interactive Robotics & Automation in Health Technology

Robotic systems that interact efficiently with humans and complex environments enable automation of processes where conventional solutions are not economically viable and human labor is increasingly unaffordable. ILT offers support through:

Identification of automation potential
Development of mechatronic, robotic or software-based solutions
Services ranging from technical consulting to full device development

User-Centered Health Technology

ILT develops and optimizes medical devices for rehabilitation and other medical applications. Working closely with users, it creates solutions that improve patients› quality of life and independence.

Development and optimization of medical devices (including mechanics, electronics, and software)
Close collaboration with all stakeholder groups in their specific application context (User-Centered Design, Human-Centered Design)
Development of testing and validation tools

The Robot Catcher

At OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, we developed a mechatronic crane for testing self-balancing robots. The system catches robots when they fall, reducing the risk of damage and eliminating the need for manual fall protection. This reduces the workload for test personnel and enables partially automated…
