About Medicaroid

Medicaroid is a fusion of the words "medical" and "android" and represents our medical robots. We want to shape the future through our understanding of robotics with human-design, client ideas and cutting-edge technology with the patient in center.

Medicaroid combines the robotics expertise of Kawasaki Heavy Industries with the medical diagnostic strength of Sysmex Corporation. This joint venture provides the foundation for developing robotic systems that support healthcare professionals in their daily work.

Partnership with IRCAD

Innovation in healthcare thrives on collaboration. Through our partnership with IRCAD, a leading institute for minimally invasive surgery, Medicaroid Europe works closely with surgeons and experts to better understand real clinical needs.

This exchange helps bridge the gap between technology and practice, supporting the development of robotic systems that truly assist in the operating room.
