ABB: to develop hospital robots in Houston

(CercleFinance.com) - Swiss engineering group ABB plans to open a new healthcare hub in Houston, Texas, to develop collaborative robotics for medical laboratories and hospitals, the company said on Wednesday.


The facility, ABB's first dedicated healthcare research centre, will see the group's research teams work with scientists and engineers to develop non-surgical medical robotics systems, including logistics and next-generation automated laboratory technologies.

The robots will undertake a range of repetitive activities including dosing, mixing and pipetting tasks as well as sterile instrument kitting and centrifuge loading and unloading.

The plant will open in October 2019.
