Robotimize Opens New Chapter in Rehabilitation Robotics with Inaugural Knowledge-Sharing Event

Robotimize convened healthcare professionals, engineers and researchers for its inaugural knowledge-sharing event on rehabilitation robotics.

MALAYSIA, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Robotimize Group marked a significant milestone on 8 August 2026 with its inaugural knowledge-sharing event, bringing together healthcare professionals, engineers, researchers and industry partners for a day of dialogue on rehabilitation technology and its clinical applications. Held across two dedicated sessions, one at the Robotimize showroom and one at Novotel Kuala Lumpur, the event brought clinicians, engineers and researchers together for direct, cross-disciplinary dialogue. Attendees included clinicians from hospitals and rehabilitation centres, biomedical engineers, academic researchers and industry partners from across the region, reflecting a shared ambition among speakers and participants alike: to close the gap between engineering innovation and clinical rehabilitation. The morning session grounded attendees in research and engineering, while the evening session focused on clinical application and patient outcomes.

The morning session opened with introductory remarks from Kerry Guo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Robotimize Group, setting the tone for the day ahead. Attendees then took part in a product tour of the Robotimize showroom, viewing the full suite of VivantePlexus™ and ACE™ solutions and interacting directly with the technologies before the formal discussion began. The session proper, entitled Advanced Rehabilitation Technology: Integration of Robotics in Modern Therapy, was led by Associate Professor Ir. Dr. Nur Azah Hamzaid of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaya, together with Associate Professor Dr. Norhamizan Hamzah of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya. The session examined the growing applications of technology within rehabilitation and explored the role that engineering and academic research play in transforming clinical practice, prompting extended questions from clinicians in the audience on how such research translates into everyday practice.

The programme continued in the evening with a second session, Redefining Mirror Therapy Through Robotic Integration: HandVivante™ MirrorHand, held at Novotel Kuala Lumpur. Professor Huang Jian-Jia (Charles), founder of Rehabotics Medical Technology Corporation and Assistant Professor at Chang Gung University, was joined by Professor Yu Cheng Pei, MD, PhD, Director and attending physician in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Together, the two presented clinical data and validation findings on the use of robotic integration in mirror therapy, drawing on years of joint research between engineering and rehabilitation medicine and covering patient outcomes observed across stroke recovery and upper-limb rehabilitation. The session included an exclusive deep dive into the HandVivante™ MirrorHand technology, followed by a hands-on demonstration that allowed attendees to experience the device firsthand and to raise direct questions with both clinicians on patient selection, therapy protocols and clinical applications.

For Robotimize, the inaugural event marks a significant step in a wider vision to build more pathways towards positive patient outcomes. Beyond the technologies on display, the day was framed around the collaboration between the stakeholders who make rehabilitation innovation possible: clinicians who understand patient needs, engineers who translate that need into design, researchers who validate outcomes through evidence, and industry partners who carry solutions from the laboratory into practice. Bringing these groups into a single room, rather than separate conferences held months apart, allowed conversations that rarely happen in isolation, from device design questions raised by clinicians to clinical workflow considerations raised by engineers and researchers, and gave attendees a rare chance to trace a single technology all the way from its research origins to its use in a clinical setting.

“Progress in rehabilitation technology depends on collaboration between the people who build it and the people who use it every day,” said Kerry Guo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Robotimize Group. “This event was our way of bringing those conversations into one room, and it is only the beginning.”

The response from attendees over both sessions reinforced the value of this format. Clinicians welcomed the opportunity to engage directly with the researchers and engineers behind the technology, while engineers and industry partners gained a clearer picture of the clinical realities that shape how devices are used at the bedside. Robotimize plans to build on this inaugural event with further knowledge-sharing sessions across the region, extending an ongoing effort to connect clinical practice with engineering research at every stage, from early academic study through to daily patient care.
