Italian ultrasound vendor Esaote has collaborated with the BioRobotics Institute in Italy to develop an automated system for testing the reliability of manufactured ultrasound probes.
Esaote and the BioRobotics Institute said they have developed a robotic cell that is able, with help from an operator, to direct a transducer and certify its effectiveness. The robotic cell consists of a collaborative robotic arm with a gripper that can verify the correct position of the probes with the aid of an operator, according to Esaote.
