PROJECTS
Advancing Healthcare Robotics Together
Connecting research, innovation and real world-care to accelerate the adoption of robotics in healthcare
CareBOTS
Innovative healthcare robotics
Ambyon is a partner in the CareBOTS project. This project focuses on the development and application of robotics solutions in healthcare. CareBOTS, therefore, lays the foundation for a growing community around medical and healthcare robotics in the Netherlands. The project works on reducing workload for healthcare professionals and improving efficiency, while also aiming to strengthen collaboration between SMEs, knowledge institutions, and healthcare providers.
By connecting innovation, research, and real-world care practice, CareBOTS contributes to the development of a future-proof healthcare sector. The project is made possible by the European Regional Development Fund (Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling (EFRO)), the government and the Province of North Brabant through the OPZuid 2021–2027 program.

ZorgBots
Innovative healthcare robotics
Ambyon is participating in the ZorgBots project. This project focuses on accelerating the adoption of robotics in healthcare by exploring practical applications and validating their value in real-world settings. ZorgBots focuses on market research and early-stage prototypes, to show the impact robotics can have on the daily practice of healthcare professionals and patients.
By bringing together healthcare providers and innovation partners, this project lays the groundwork for the further development and implementation of healthcare robotics in the Netherlands.
This project started in 2022 and is made possible through the OPZuid 2021–2027 program.

Interreg CAMoRo
Demand for automation is growing strongly in sectors such as logistics, industry, and healthcare, driven in part by persistent labour shortages and the increasing complexity of processes. Interreg CAMoRo responds to this by developing collaborative autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that communicate with one another and coordinate their actions.
In this cross-border project, knowledge institutions, technology companies, and network organisations from the Netherlands and Belgium (Flanders) are working together on a shared innovation: a platform that enables robots to move beyond isolated operation and collaborate efficiently within complex environments.
From Individual Robots to Smart Collaboration
Current AMR applications often lack coordination, leading to inefficiency, congestion, and suboptimal deployment. CAMoRo is developing a solution by:
- enabling real-time communication between robots,
- supporting joint decision-making,
- and allowing robots to collaborate flexibly in dynamic environments.
Practical Validation Across Multiple Sectors
The technology is being validated in realistic applications, including:
- collaboration between robots and drones,
- logistics optimisation in warehouses,
- safe interaction between robots and human operators,
- and deployment in complex healthcare environments.

Cross-Border Impact
By combining expertise in robotics, AI, and communication technology, CAMoRo strengthens the innovation power of the Flemish-Dutch high-tech sector. The project contributes to:
- higher productivity and efficiency,
- better utilisation of personnel,
- and accelerated adoption of robotics within SMEs and industry.
Project Objectives (Summarised – Interreg-Compliant)
The main goal of the CAMoRo project is to strengthen innovation and research capacity in the Flemish-Dutch border region by developing and applying collaborative autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
The objectives are:
- Developing a reliable platform for collaborative AMRs, including communication, algorithms, and integration, aimed at scalable collaboration between robots
- Improving efficiency and productivity in sectors such as logistics, industry, and healthcare through better coordination and task allocation between robots
- Strengthening cross-border R&D and collaboration between knowledge institutions and businesses, with a focus on application by SMEs
- Validating technology in practice-oriented use cases, aimed at broad applicability and adoption across different sectors
- Accelerating market introduction and scale-up of robotics innovations through demonstrations, knowledge sharing, and network activation
