Notes

Kinova's press release of “June 8, 2026” announces “the official launch of KIMA, its brand-new medical robotic arm designed specifically for clinical environments”.

The press release states that the arm is aimed at “enabling medical device manufacturers (OEMs) to design the next generation of medical systems faster, safely, and with unmatched flexibility”.

The technical sheet gives the targeted field as “Medical (incl. operating room)”.
