KUKA LBR MED 14 R820
Robot details
The KUKA LBR Med 14 R820 is a highly advanced 7‑axis collaborative medical robot (cobot) designed specifically for medical devices and healthcare applications.
It is the world’s first collaborative robot certified for integration into medical products, according to international medical safety standards.
With a rated payload of 14 kg and a maximum reach of 820 mm, the LBR Med 14 R820 offers an excellent balance between strength, precision, and sensitivity.
Its design is based on the proven LBR iiwa technology, enhanced with additional medical‑grade safety, precision, and certification features.
The robot is controlled by the KUKA Sunrise Cabinet Med, which supports force control, hand‑guiding, teleoperation, and AI‑based perception systems.
Thanks to its integrated torque and force sensors on all seven axes, the robot can safely operate in direct contact with humans, making it ideal for clinical and medical environments.
The KUKA LBR Med 14 R820 is widely used in surgery assistance, diagnostics, rehabilitation, and medical research, and is a key component in modern AI‑driven healthcare automation.
