Stäubli’s TX2‑60L MedX Ready medical robot shines at World Health Expo (WHX) Dubai 2026

WHX Dubai (formerly Arab Health) is the largest network of healthcare events in the Middle East. In 2026, it drew participation from government agencies and regulators, hospitals and diagnostic centers, medtech and pharma companies, investors, and NGOs, creating a temporary global hub for healthcare innovation. It took place from February 9 to 12 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) in Expo City Dubai, with more than 235,000 visitors and 4,300 exhibitors.

The event highlighted fast-growing interest in robotics and smart technologies. Stäubli reflected this trend by showcasing its newest medical robot, the TX2 60L MedX Ready, as part of the French Pavilion, organized by Business France.

TX2-60L MedX Ready: High-precision medical robotics on display

Stäubli collaborates closely with specialized medical technology manufacturers worldwide to develop advanced robotic solutions for the healthcare sector. The TX2‑60L MedX Ready robot, launched in November 2025, is an ISO 13485-compliant six‑axis robotic arm engineered to support surgical, imaging, rehabilitation, and diagnostics workflows. It delivers high precision, cleanability, and safety in highly regulated clinical settings.

“WHX Dubai confirmed that practitioner-centered, accurate, efficient, and data-ready robotics is now a strategic priority for health systems in the region,” said Olivier Mathonat, Medical Robotics Global Marketing Leader. “With TX2 60L MedX Ready, we offer the precision and cleanability clinicians expect, plus a development pathway that helps our partners scale faster.”

The TX2‑60L MedX Ready is the foundation of the Romed:X platform, developed with design and engineering partner Conicio and SQI, a specialist in digital software and regulatory integration. This modular system supports early-stage medical robotics development, combining a medical-grade cart, controller, and software environment for rapid prototyping and workflow testing.

At WHX Dubai, Stäubli demonstrated the TX2 60L MedX Ready within a Romed:X configuration equipped with modules for navigation, tracking, and imaging. The setup featured MedXguiding, an intuitive manual guidance mode that enables precise instrument control, along with the Atracsys fusionTrack 500 camera for high-accuracy optical tracking. Stäubli also showcased the platform’s IEC 62304-compliant software environment, including its software development kit and essential clinical applications, illustrating how Romed:X supports early prototyping and workflow validation.
