Team HERMIS is developing a portable, low-field MRI system mounted on a robotic arm to make medical imaging more mobile and accessible. Unlike traditional MRI machines, this system can move around the patient, eliminating the need for large infrastructure and expensive cooling systems. It enables real-time imaging and can guide robotic instruments like catheters without using radiation. The goal is to deploy these units globally, including in remote areas, and even integrate them into ambulances for in-transit diagnostics. The KUKA robotic arm provides precision, portability, and medical certification, making it suitable for clinical environments. Through the KUKA Innovation Award, the team is advancing a technology that could transform diagnostics and catheter-based interventions worldwide. go.kuka.com/Innovation-Award-2025-yt
