Work with us

Reactive Robotics is the world’s first company to introduce robotics to intensive care units. 
We support nurses and therapists in providing robot-assisted therapy to their patients. Our company is growing fast and, by working with us, you will gain responsibilities quickly. Our diverse team is open-minded, highly-motivated, and multidisciplinary. We are passionate about our mission:

Helping patients - supporting nurses and therapists - adding value to the healthcare system.

This thesis focuses on the prototypical development of a robotic system for lower limb mobilization in geriatric care. With increasing age, geriatric disorders and multimorbidity can result in a rapid decrease in mobility and independence, which ultimately leads to the need for care by relatives and/or healthcare professionals. Furthermore, geriatric patients often need to leave the comfort of their own home and relocate to a nursing home. Frequent mobilization therapy can help to avoid these circumstances. However, with the number of healthcare professionals increasing at a much slower rate than the number of elderly and critically ill patients, the healthcare system does not possess sufficient capacities to provide the necessary interventions. In order to counteract this shortage of healthcare professionals, Reactive Robotics has developed a robotics prototype aimed at providing robotic assistance for geriatric mobilization therapy. The objective of this thesis lies in the optimization of this prototype. All insights obtained with the first prototype should be gathered, evaluated, and transferred into conceptual improvements (e.g., size, weight, performance, usability). Afterwards, a second generation of the prototype should be constructed and evaluated.
