RTI and Kinova

The Foundation for Ultra-Fast, Interconnected Surgical Robots

Back to Healthcare

Don’t let network latency or complex data infrastructures stall your next-generation surgical platform. With Kinova and RTI, the integrated building blocks are available today. Kinova and RTI provide an integrated technology foundation that accelerates product lifecycles and simplifies development across minimally invasive therapies and diagnostics.

The Kinova KIMA medical robotic arm is an advanced medical-grade integration platform with native support for RTI Connext. RTI Connext provides scalable, reliable connectivity across platforms for easy connectivity of KIMA to any medical solution including imaging systems, AI pipelines, haptic controllers, clinical software, and more. For OEMs, this means KIMA doesn't just plug into their solution; it speaks the same language as the rest of their platform from day one.

This integrated platform breaks through the systematic bottlenecks of legacy architectures, which simply weren't designed for the next-level of speed or interoperability needed in surgical robotics.

Together we provide real-time, deterministic performance, with haptic feedback, AI guidance, and teleoperation capabilities to modern clinical environments. We invite you to discover how the synergy between the KIMA surgical arm and the RTI Connext framework can accelerate time-to-market while securing your critical data streams.

 

Multi-Robot Orchestration Demo

‍At SRS 2025 and 2026, Kinova, MedAcuity and RTI demonstrated how OEMs have reliable, scalable control over complex multi-robot clinical configurations. A single controller simultaneously operated three KIMA robotic arms, with KIMA's RCL managing real-time command and control of each robot, while RTI Connext continuously reported the status of all three arms in real time.
