TouchSense, a new sensor attached to the robot arm is through manual movement manipulation allowing you to position a coil very easily in a direction you would like without the need to control it remotely.

The newest addition contributes also to the safety of the SmartMove system. The TouchSense continuously monitors the force applied to the coil and the distance between the patient`s head and the coils, and responds accordingly. When a patient`s head is considered too close to a coil the robot will automatically adjust the position.

TouchSense was developed in collaboration with University of Luebeck, Germany
