Aethon Partners with RE2 to Develop RNA
April 8, 2008
Aethon has partnered with RE2, a leading developer of intelligent modular manipulation systems, in the design of a Robotic Nursing Assistant, or RNA. The RNA concept combines Aethon's proven mobile robotic platform and sophisticated navigation technology with RE2's intelligent dexterous manipulation expertise. The RNA will be designed to be an extension of the nurse when performing physically challenging tasks, such as moving a patient from a gurney to a hospital bed. To support design of the RNA, RE2 received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract grant from the US Army's TATRC.
