Unlocking the Full Potential of Robotics Development
A Unified Approach to Requirements Definition by MedAcuity & Kinova
In today’s high stakes world of robotics and medical device development, poorly defined requirements can derail timelines, inflate budgets, and jeopardize safety. That’s why MedAcuity and Kinova have partnered to deliver a unified requirements approach in robotics, aligning hardware and software teams from day one to drive clarity, compliance, and successful outcomes.
Download our white paper to learn how a unified requirements approach helps robotics teams build safer, faster, and more scalable systems by:
✅ Reducing rework
✅ Streamlining compliance
✅ Enhancing system integration
✅ Improving time to market
Why Unified Requirements Matter in Robotics Projects
According to the Project Management Institute, 37% of project failures stem from unclear requirements. In medical robotics, where software, hardware, and regulatory requirements intersect, the risk of misalignment multiplies. Our approach ensures:
- Cross functional alignment from concept to deployment
- Early risk mitigation and clear design inputs
- Seamless integration across electromechanical systems
- Compliance with standards like IEC 60601-1 and ISO 14971
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS WHITE PAPER
This in depth resource explores:
- The critical role of Requirements Definition in medical robotics
- Real world success and failure stories that illustrate the ROI of getting it right
- How unified requirements guide architecture decisions and mitigate costly rework
- A detailed look at a typical surgical robotic system architecture
- The value of building a product around a collaborative engineering ecosystem
FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLIANCE:
- Synchronizes software and hardware requirements
- Addresses architectural complexity with early allocation
- Supports modularity, scalability, and safety
- Guides technology decisions, from ROS 2 integration to redundant safety channels
