The Smart Health Automation Summit is a specialized platform dedicated to automation, robotics, and digital transformation in healthcare. Under the guiding theme “Automation reimagined – innovations for healthcare”, the summit brings together decision-makers and practitioners from healthcare, nursing, industry, research, and policy.
The event focuses on addressing key challenges such as workforce shortages and cost pressure by showcasing practical automation solutions and fostering collaboration between users, technology providers, and stakeholders. Through expert sessions, keynotes, and an accompanying exhibition area, the summit enables direct exchange on real-world applications, regulatory frameworks, and future healthcare infrastructure.
At the Smart Health Automation Summit 2026, United Robotics Group will present its humanoid robot uMe, a technological prototype that was unveiled earlier in 2026 at the CES in Las Vegas.
The development of uMe reflects URG’s focus on practical, real-world robotic systems. uMe is positioned to support environments where human-centered interaction and accessibility are important, such as education, caregiver assistance, and research settings, and is built to integrate seamlessly with existing workflows and data architectures.
Visitors at the summit will have the opportunity to learn how uMe fits into United Robotics Group’s broader automation ecosystem and to discuss its role in future healthcare and service workflows.
