Robotics for
every body.

The human body is not a fixed workpiece. It moves and changes shape, and no two bodies are alike. Tenrec’s core capability is robotics that locates any body and positions a tool relative to it, in the body’s own coordinate frames. It works with repeatable precision, enabling AI-driven individualized automation.

Automating ultrasound acquisition.

Ultrasound is fast and available almost anywhere. It is also operator-dependent: the same subject, two operators, two different results.

We remove that dependence. A robot follows defined, repeatable trajectories and records each image with the transducer position and orientation it was taken from.

The result is a structured dataset, acquired the same way across sessions and subjects, and reproducible by design. The interpretation stays with the clinician — Tenrec provides the data.

Development roadmap.

You can’t transform an entire medical discipline without a structured approach. We’re first using our technology to document conventional ultrasound examinations. In a second step, we will introduce a robot to the research market that—for the first time—can collect standardized ultrasound data largely autonomously. After that, our goal is to achieve fully autonomous ultrasound examinations.

About Tenrec.

Tenrec builds on long-standing research at the Institute of Robotics and Cognitive Systems, University of Lübeck. Its four founders combine medical robotics with machine vision, AI, and medical-device development expertise.
