Life Science Robotics is a Danish company developing innovative robotic solutions for the healthcare sector. Our aim is to challenge the existing capability of patient progression while also providing a sustainable working environment for professionals.
Also, at Life Science Robotics we are specialists in rehabilitation robotics. We are the developers of ROBERT®, a revolutionary robot design for the mobilization of patients.
We foster an environment that focuses on research and innovation, while being dedicated to both educating and getting educated by the healthcare community. Additionally, collaborating with local academic and healthcare institutions represents a priority for us, looking into continuously adding value to each other.
We are represented in Europe, Asia, and USA by a growing network of professional distributors and are striving to become a reference point for the healthcare robotic solutions on an international level.

The idea of ROBERT® came about an ordinary Tuesday evening where the founder, Lasse Thomsen, and his wife talked about the challenges in her work as a nurse at Aalborg University Hospital. Healthcare workers experience daily challenges as heavy lifting in relation to rehabilitation of patients.
Robert ApS was nominated the entrepreneurial company of the year 2015 within the field of welfare innovation. The judges’ decision was based on which finalist had the most potential for growth.
Rune Kristensen came on board as CTO in 2017 along with several members, giving a huge contribution to the development of ROBERT®: Fridel Laursen as Clinical Project Manager, and Firas Amin as Lead Software Engineer.
With a focus on expansion and internationalisation, Robert changed its name to Life Science Robotics. The name encompasses the presence of robots and the healthcare industry in the company’s DNA.
Three new professional investors also came on board in 2018. Lasse Thomsen stepped down as CEO and Keld Thorsen joined the company as new CEO and shareholder.
In September 2018, the company was ISO 13485 certified and ROBERT® was approved as a Class IIa medical device in compliance with the medical device directive (93/42/EEC)
The international network of ROBERT®’s distributors is expanding quickly. Outside Denmark, Life Science Robotics is represented in various European countries such as Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands and the UK.
Also, Life Science Robotics carried out the first installation in a hospital in Denmark, at Vestdansk Center for Rygmarvsskade in Viborg.
In 2020, ROBERT® received the U.S. FDA approval and later the first three units were sold and shipped to the USA market.
In the same year, a total of 6 installations were concluded on the Danish market.
Life Science Robotics carried out the first installation on the German market, continuing with signing 4 new installation agreements with large and reputable German hospitals and clinics over a record period of just 3 weeks.
After establishing a strong collaboration on the Asian market, the first two shipments to Asia were conducted, to Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Also, the company reached the 10 installations milestone in Denmark within 2021.
An investment in ROBERT® is beneficial at several levels, as for example enhancement of mobilization, reducing inpatient stays and improving different health and wellbeing aspects. ROBERT® provides a complement to the healthcare professionals’ daily work, avoiding heavy lifting and intensive movement repetitions.
