The Cobot is intended to control the positioning, the orientation and the contact of a compatible TMS coil under the supervision of an optical tracking system (no MRI) or a compatible neuronavigation system (MRI).

Key features

• Collaborative robotics « cobot » technology (safety)
  Such technology provides intrinsic safety features through a collision detection mechanism at each joint level, allowing close collaboration with human beings.  Movements of the robotic arm can be either automated or manually directed by the user having activated a so-called free-drive mode
• Keeps the position and the orientation of the TMS coil during the session (optical tracking of markers on the head)
• Compensates for potential head motion during the TMS session
• Ensures permanent contact between coil and head (integrated pressure sensor)
• Compatible with any chair
• Lightweight and mobile : Can easily be moved on its wheels
• Ergonomy : When piloted by a compatible neuronavigation system, the operator controls TMS-Cobot from the graphical user interface of the neuronavigator.
• When piloted by Axilum Robotics optical Tracking System, the operator controls TMS-Cobot from a control panel placed on the cart
   

Key advantages

•  Improves accuracy and repeatability
  Accuracy of the robotic arm is below 2 mm
• Delivers the operator from a repetitive, painful and and time consuming task
  Once the session launched, minimal attention of the operator is requested to ensure appropriate position, orientation and contact of the coil on the head

Compatibility

• TMS-Cobot is compatible with coils from MagVenture, Deymed, Magstim, Mag&More, Neurosoft. List of compatible coils on request.
• TMS-Cobot can be piloted either by Axilum Robotics optical Tracking System (without MRI) or compatible neuro-navigation system from Localite, Rogue Research/Brainsight, Syneika

Dimensions

• TMS-Cobot fits to any space and enters into most elevators thanks to its practical dimensions and light weight.

Regulatory information

• CE Mark (EU)
• FDA clearance (USA)
