Medical Robotics Challenge 2.0: These are the finalists of the KUKA Innovation Award 2025

Gentler spinal surgery, better screening for vascular diseases, a robotic assistant for orthopaedics or a robot-controlled, portable MRI scanner: Five international teams have made it to the final of the KUKA Innovation Award with their robotics ideas for the future of medicine. The winner will receive €20,000 in prize money.

New technologies are increasingly finding their way into operating rooms, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers. They can compensate for bottlenecks, enable gentler treatment, or better prevention. The motto of the KUKA Innovation Award 2025 is therefore “Medical Robotics Challenge 2.0”. 

Robotics will be increasingly used in the healthcare sector in the coming years and will open up countless new possibilities for the benefit of patients. This is also demonstrated by the ideas for the Medical Robotics Challenge 2.0 that we received from all over the world. Five teams particularly impressed the jury with their robotics concepts for improving prevention, medical treatment or surgical interventions.

KUKA Innovation Award 2025: What`s next?

 

KUKA will provide the finalists with the collaborative robot LBR Med for the duration of the competition, which can be expanded with an NDI tracking system. The sensitive LBR Med is specially adapted to medical requirements and is particularly suitable for versatile assistance systems in medical technology thanks to its ability for human-robot collaboration. The final teams will present their concepts to an international audience of experts, visitors, media and investors at a major trade fair in 2025. The jury will then select the winner of the 20,000 euro innovation prize.
