～Kawasaki Heavy Industries and its industrial robot technology～

In 1969, Kawasaki Heavy Industries succeeded in the first industrial robot made in Japan.
Ever since, along with Japanese manufacturing development, the company has expanded their business as a pioneer of industrial robots
with great support from customers in various fields.
Kawasaki Heavy Industry, contributing Japanese technology in supporting the world industrial robot market,
has achieved the development and delivery of a collaborative robot that works safely next to humans (’duAro’ dual-arm SCARA robot).
By providing robots that can coexist with humans, Medicaroid applies this technology and expertise to a robot-assisted surgical system
to support the delicate surgeries performed by medical professionals in a limited operating space.
