Autonomous robotic ultrasound
Ultrasound exam completed without the hassle
Autonomous robotic ultrasound, built for health systems.
aroo lab builds Aroo One — a collaborative robot that performs the mechanical, tedious part of an ultrasound exam on its own. A complete, standardized study, captured wherever it's needed and read by a specialist anywhere.
Aroo One is an investigational device in development. Not yet cleared for clinical use.
The problem
Ultrasound is the most available imaging in medicine, and the hardest to staff.
01Operator-dependent
The quality of a study lives in the hands of whoever holds the probe. Two sonographers, two results. Findings shift with skill, fatigue, and the day.
02Expertise doesn't scale
Trained sonographers cluster in large centres. Rural clinics, night shifts, and the field go without, so patients travel, wait, or simply aren't scanned.
03aroo lab removes the variable
The robot performs the same complete, standardized study every time, on site and on demand, while a specialist anywhere reads and signs off.
How it works
Watch it scan. Scroll to run the sequence.
From standby to a signed study, the aroo lab cobot registers the patient, maps the body, makes safe contact, and runs the protocol on its own. Scroll to step through it.
Register & position
Depth cameras locate the patient and the target anatomy, then the arm moves in above them along a collision-aware path, with no manual setup and no landmarks drawn by hand.
3D surface scan
The probe sweeps head to toe to build a 3D map of the body surface. That map plans the exam and the exact path the transducer will follow, a fast reconnaissance pass before a single image is captured.
Autonomous ultrasound
The transducer lowers into force-controlled contact and runs the full protocol, sweeping the site continuously and auto-capturing every required view. Images, loops, and measurements post to PACS the moment the study ends.
Technology
What backs up our words.
A software-defined autonomy stack built on AI, vision, and force control, so every system gets more capable with each release.
Vision-guided targeting
A time-of-flight depth camera maps the patient and locates the scan site, planning a safe approach without manual setup.
Force-controlled contact
Closed-loop force sensing keeps probe pressure within a clinical window: firm enough to image, gentle enough to be safe.
AI scan protocols
On-device models drive the probe through complete, standardized sweeps and auto-capture every required view.
Collaborative safety
The arm continuously senses unexpected contact and stops on the instant, engineered to work safely alongside patients and staff.
Teleoperation & remote drive
A specialist anywhere can take the controls, guide the probe in real time, or review studies live.
DICOM & PACS native
Studies push straight to your PACS over DICOM, with worklist integration and structured reporting built in.
Where it helps
Imaging where the experts aren't.
Autonomous scanning closes the gap between where ultrasound is needed and where trained sonographers actually are.
Remote & rural care
Bring diagnostic ultrasound to clinics with no sonographer on site, scanned locally and read anywhere.
High-volume screening
Standardized, repeatable exams at scale for national screening and public-health programs.
Staffing shortages
Keep imaging running through workforce gaps: the cobot scans, your team reads and decides.
Why aroo lab
The same complete exam, wherever it happens.
Ultrasound has always been only as good as the person holding the probe. aroo lab makes the exam repeatable — one complete, standardized study, delivered on demand and read by a specialist anywhere.
Consistency, not variability
The robot runs an identical protocol every time — no drift between operators, shifts, or skill levels.
Reach beyond the specialists
Autonomous and teleguided scanning puts diagnostic ultrasound where no trained sonographer is on site.
Better with every release
Autonomy is software-defined, so deployed systems gain new protocols and sharper scanning through updates — not new hardware.
Our company
Robotics and medical imaging, built in-house.
aroo lab is a medical-robotics company with one mission: put a consistent, complete ultrasound exam within reach of every patient, everywhere. We design the cobot hardware, write the vision and autonomy software, and build the systems in-house, keeping robotics, imaging, and clinical work close together.
Where we are. Aroo One is an investigational device. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. FDA or any other regulatory authority, and is not yet available for clinical use.
