What TEDIRO does

TEDIRO Healthcare Robotics GmbH is a German medical robotics company founded in 2020-2021 as a spin-out from MetraLabs and Technische Universität Ilmenau, headquartered in Ilmenau with an additional office in Leipzig. The company develops and sells the THERY mobile robot platform, a CE-marked, autonomously navigating medical device (manufactured by MetraLabs using proprietary CogniDrive SLAM navigation) that supports multiple therapeutic software applications for gait training in clinical and care settings. The first application, THERY UAG, is CE marked under EU MDR and provides camera-based motion-capture gait analysis (32 joint/support points, 18 gait parameters at 30 fps) with real-time corrective feedback for patients training with forearm crutches after orthopedic surgery. A second application, THERY GO, extends the platform to assistive-device-independent gait training for nursing-home and rehabilitation use cases. A cloud-based Therapy Management System handles scheduling, patient identification, training plan creation, and automated documentation export to hospital IT systems, with GDPR-compliant German server infrastructure.

The business model combines capital-equipment hardware sales (THERY robot) with recurring software subscriptions (therapeutic applications and cloud management platform) and professional services for implementation and training, sold through a direct enterprise sales motion to hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, and nursing homes primarily in Germany and the broader EU. The company holds ISO 13485:2018 certification (surveillance audit passed January 2026), two pending patent applications, and has secured approximately EUR 1 million in seed funding (September 2021) led by bm-t with participation from MBG Thüringen and former Helios Kliniken CEO Olaf Jedersberger, supplemented by EU H2020 and regional R&D grants. Named reference customers include BG Klinikum Bergmannstrost Halle and Waldkliniken Eisenberg, the latter also serving as primary clinical development partner for the underlying gait analysis algorithms.

Revenue model

1. Robot Hardware Sales: Sale of the THERY robot platform (manufactured by MetraLabs to TEDIRO's specifications) as a capital medical device. The robot is sold to healthcare facilities (clinics, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes) as the primary hardware platform.
2. Software Applications (Medical Device Apps): Therapeutic software applications (THERY UAG, THERY GO) running on the THERY platform. These are certified as medical devices under MDR (EU) and are sold as part of or in connection with the hardware, likely through subscription or licensing models tied to facility deployment.
3. Cloud-Based Therapy Management System: Cloud-based therapy management software for configuration, scheduling, documentation, and data export. Provided as a service with server location in Germany, likely on a subscription or per-facility basis.
4. Professional Services & Training: Implementation support, training for clinical staff, and ongoing customer success services associated with deploying the robot system in healthcare facilities.

Core offering

TEDIRO develops and sells the THERY mobile robot platform for autonomous therapy and diagnostics in clinical settings. The robot autonomously navigates to the patient, uses on-board cameras and AI to guide exercises and capture gait/balance data without body-worn sensors, and reports objective measurements to therapists. The platform targets physiotherapists in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, geriatric clinics, and nursing homes, and is complemented by modular therapy applications (THERY UAG, THERY GO) and a cloud-based Therapy Management System.

Product overview

TEDIRO offers a platform-plus-applications architecture centered on the THERY mobile robot. The THERY robot serves as the core hardware platform with autonomous navigation capabilities. Multiple software applications run on this platform: THERY UAG provides gait training with forearm crutches (CE marked), while THERY GO enables assistive-device-independent gait training. A proprietary cloud-based Therapy Management System manages robot operations, training plans, and documentation. The company positions itself as a 'Robotics Platform for Therapy and Diagnostics' leveraging physical AI to bring artificial intelligence directly into physical therapy environments.

Direct peers

• Hocoma (DIH International): Swiss-based pioneer in robotic rehabilitation whose Lokomat, Erigo, and Armeo product lines cover gait and upper-limb therapy. Most direct competitor to TEDIRO in clinic-deployed rehabilitation robotics, with broader product breadth and longer commercial track record.
• Ekso Bionics: Developer of wearable exoskeletons (EksoNR, EksoGT) for walking rehabilitation after stroke, spinal cord injury, and orthopedic surgery. Directly comparable to TEDIRO's THERY platform as a robotic gait-training solution deployed in rehabilitation hospitals.
• ReWalk Robotics: Maker of exoskeleton systems (ReWalk Personal, ReStore) for individuals with lower-limb disabilities and stroke rehabilitation. Comparable clinical positioning in robotic gait restoration and similar hospital and rehab-center go-to-market motion.

Regional players

• CYBERDYNE: Japan-based developer of the HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) robot suit for walking support and rehabilitation. Operates in the same robotic gait-therapy category as TEDIRO but is primarily focused on the Japanese and Asian markets.

Emerging players

• Fourier Intelligence: China-based developer of rehabilitation robotics including the RehabHub ecosystem of exoskeleton and end-effector devices for upper and lower-limb therapy. Comparable platform ambition to TEDIRO's hardware-plus-apps model and a potential entrant in European markets.
• Bionik Laboratories: Developer of robotic therapy devices including the InMotion ARM and ARKE lower-body exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation. Targets similar clinical use cases as TEDIRO and competes for the same hospital and rehabilitation-center budgets.
• Reha Technology: Swiss manufacturer of the G-EO System, an end-effector-based gait rehabilitation robot used in clinics. Closely comparable as a clinic-installed robotic gait therapy platform targeting similar orthopedic and neurologic patient populations.
• Mobility Research: US-based maker of LiteGait bodyweight-support gait training devices and related therapy equipment. Adjacent non-robotic competitor used in the same gait therapy workflows where TEDIRO's THERY UAG and THERY GO are deployed.
• Aretech (Recovery Sciences): Australian developer of the ZeroG passive body-weight support system for overground gait and balance training. Competes for the same rehabilitation-center budgets and clinician mindshare as TEDIRO's gait-training applications.

Broad incumbents

• Toyota (Human Support Robot / Welwalk): Large industrial and mobility company that has developed Welwalk WW-2000 robotic gait training system and the HSR humanoid service robot prototype for healthcare settings. Represents a well-capitalized incumbent with potential to expand into TEDIRO's autonomous therapy-robot niche.
