Adamo is a physiotherapist robot developed by the company Future Sense, belonging to the Inspiralia Group, which emulates manual therapies using compressed air. Thanks to the latest developments in sensors, thermography and 3D vision, this collaborative robot, which incorporates Universal Robots's Cobot UR5e technology, meets the indications of healthcare professionals up to millimetre.
This physiotherapist robot is designed to improve people's lives. After years of research and development, the first units are already on the market to help clinics reduce waiting lists, digitize each patient's history so that they can be treated in any Adamo equipped centre and shorten back pain recovery times. By carefully following the instructions of the care professional, the robot guarantees the maximum effectiveness of treatments.

It is the first time that a collaborative robot is used to treat the musculoskeletal system of the spine. The managers have chosen to give maximum medical consistency to its development. That's why they chose a UR5e, a 100% safe cobot that offers all the guarantees of safety and usability.

Adamo Robot, developed in Spain, implements technology from
cutting edge, such as Universal Robots Cobot UR5E, thermal and 3D cameras, sensors and a compressed air compressor
Currently, the solution is in the process of medical certification as a medical device class IIa, because, although Adamo does not touch the patient, the developers wanted it to receive the highest clinical certification as a medical device. The robot is in the accreditation process at Hospital San Pedro (Logroño) with the involvement of the Centre for Biomedical Research of La Rioja (CIBIR).

Treatment in Adamo begins with the diagnosis by a physiotherapist, who marks the patient practically the points to be treated on the back to be treated. The cobot maps the points, maps them separately with 3D cameras, sensors and thermography and remembers them. Then, using intuitive software, the physiotherapist program the pressure to be exerted by the robot arm, the time and temperature at each point of the treatment. An air compressor that delivers more than 200 litres per minute makes it possible to accurately mimic manual therapies.

Thanks to a thermographic camera, Adamo measures body temperature to monitor the patient's evolution in each session and, using Big Data, objectively predict the outcome of the treatment. This physiotherapist robot also has safety and distance sensors and a heating mechanism on request so that the patient can control the feeling of cold and heat.

Another advantage the Adamo Robot brings for patients is that their data stays in the cloud, so they can be treated in any clinic or hospital equipped with the robot, with the same guarantees of quality and efficiency. The medical center and the doctor have always updated the user's online data
The physiotherapists to whom we proposed our system are the first to support this solution, since it is not a substitute, but a supplement that facilitates their work. With Adamo Robot, they can automate manual tasks to spend more time with the patient and provide more personalized attention". In addition, “to ensure these benefits, we have opted for a safe and 100% collaborative robot as offered by Universal Robots
