Abstract: A mobile health system and method for performing health tests and for acquiring health-related personal data by a computer network and resources connected in the computer network. Communication means of the network include a health database having a database management system, a personal database, a plurality of mobile health test systems each having at least one automatically controllable robot that is designed and configured to perform a health-related test method, and a test system controller which is connected to the computer network via a first communication means. A plurality of terminals are connected to the computer network via second communication means.

Abstract: A drive device including at least one motor and at least one additional drive component from the group of a transmission, a torque converter, a clutch and/or a brake, wherein the at least one motor and/or the at least one additional drive component includes a control means which changes the torque transmission and which includes at least one illuminant and a material that influences the torque transmission and that includes at least one light-stabilized dynamic material (LSDM). The control means is configured to change the torque transmission by actuating the illuminant, which radiates onto the light-stabilized dynamic material (LSDM). A robot includes at least one such drive device.

Abstract: An instrument tray for storing and supplying surgical instruments, and a system and a method for at least semi-automatically handling trays of this type. The tray includes a container for receiving surgical instruments, and the container has unique visual markers for individual instruments. The system also includes a manipulator and an image recognition unit.

Abstract: A hippotherapy device includes a saddle for receiving a person thereon, a programmable movement control, and an automatic movement device for automatically moving the saddle according to a movement pattern program. The program specifies a sequence of target values of positions and orientations of the saddle in the locality of the movement device in order to execute the movement pattern. The hippotherapy device further includes a person securing device having a main support on which a body strap is mounted, at least one sensor for detecting at least one physical variable characterizing the body posture of the person on the saddle, and an auxiliary control device configured to compare expected values of the physical variable with current values of the physical variable detected by the sensor, and to trigger an associated safety function, if a deviation of the current values from the expected values exceeds a predetermined tolerance threshold.

Abstract: A method for controlling the robot of a training system according to any of the previous claims, wherein a biomechanical and/or cardiovascular stress of the user, particularly based on a measured impingement of the actuation surface, is determined and the robot is controlled using a predetermined and the measured biomechanical and/or cardiovascular stress of the user. A computer program product with a program code, which is saved on a medium readable by the computer, for implementing a method according to the previous claim.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system having one or more development environments (2) for creating machine programs (6), in particular robot programs, and one or more machine controls (12), in particular for controlling robots. One or more machine controls (12) are represented in a development environment (2). The system is configured for the regular transmission of data from one development environment (2) to a machine control (12) and/or the reverse. A development environment (2) and a machine control (12) each preferably comprise a database (1a and 1b). The representation of a machine control (12) in a development environment (2) is carried out in that the affected databases (1a and 1b) are synchronized. Furthermore, a development environment (2) can react to changes in a machine control (12) represented therein. The invention further relates to a method for operating in such a system and a related computer program product.

Abstract: A diagnostic or therapeutic apparatus and method for operating the diagnostic or therapeutic apparatus. The diagnostic or therapeutic apparatus includes a stationary diagnostic or therapeutic device, at least one movable patient bed, and at least one manipulator. The patient bed can be coupled to the manipulator in order to enable the manipulator to move the patient bed from a preparation position to a treatment position.

Abstract: An invention-based method for controlling a robot arrangement having at least one robot (R) and comprising the following steps: Establishing at least one general fault model (1) for a group of different treatment processes with predetermined processing errors (S1); Configuring the fault model for at least one specific processing error of a process of the group (S2); and Transmitting the configured fault model (1?) to a control system of the robot arrangement.

Abstract: In a method, device and in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for computer-assisted generation of a manipulator path of a computer-controlled manipulator, a processor is loaded with a virtual tool and generates a virtual tool path based in a virtual component and the loaded virtual tool. The processor is also loaded with a virtual manipulator kinematic and generates a virtual manipulator path based on the virtual tool path and the virtual manipulator kinematic.
