The Axilum TMS Robot is designed specifically for the accurate, safe and reproducible placement of a TMS coil during an experiment or treatment session. The TMS Robot is used in combination with Brainsight TMS Navigation to automatically target and reproduce user-defined trajectories (pitch, tilt, yaw) while compensating for any movement of the subject’s head.
Axilum TMS-Robot
The Axilum Robot is the first robotic solution specifically designed for transcranial magnetic stimulation. It provides the TMS researcher and practitioner with many advantages:
• Accuracy and repeatability of coil placement and navigation
• Compensation for patients’ head movement during TMS session
• Access to any stimulation target or trajectory via hemispheric movement around the subject's head
• Improved patient safety achieved by adapted motor’s power and contact force sensors attached to the stimulating coils surface to ensure appropriate contact force between coil and patient
• TMS sessions can be planned in advance and executed autonomously
• Replication of recorded procedures with automated record keeping of stimulation sites and targets
• Ease of use, improved safety and comfort for the operator
The Axilum TMS Robot conforms to IEC 60601-1 standards. Axilum Robotics TMS-Robotis intended for use in medical or scientific investigation purposes only.
