Kinova launches KIMA medical robotic arm

Kinova has launched KIMA, a medical robotic arm designed specifically for use in clinical environments rather than adapted from industrial robots. The arm is engineered to fit within the space constraints of modern operating rooms while meeting medical safety standards, featuring a lightweight frame, redundant sensors, and integration capabilities for surgical instruments. KIMA matters because it was designed from the ground up for clinical realities, incorporating absolute quality manufacturing standards and advanced monitoring functions required for medical applications. The robotic arm is supported by a network of technology partners and uses an open architecture that enables medical device companies and startups to integrate it into their solutions more easily.
