Brain implant to help control devices with thoughts
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT06728787Recruiting
Robot-assisted walking for hereditary spastic paraplegia
This trial tests if robot-assisted walking therapy can help people with hereditary spastic paraplegia (a condition causing progressive leg stiffness and weakness) improve their walking ability. It may be an option if you can walk indoors on your own.
Bosisio Parini, Italy/leccoAges 4–70 - NCT06730074Recruiting
Robotic exercise for Parkinson's motor and thinking skills
This study tests a new robotic system that combines movement and mental exercises for people with Parkinson's. It may help improve both your physical and thinking skills.
Ofakim, SouthAges 50–75 - NCT06730321Recruiting
Assessing skills for robotic thyroid surgery
This trial is for people having robotic thyroid surgery (removing all or part of the thyroid with a robot). It aims to create a scoring system to measure how well surgeons perform the procedure. You may be eligible if you have a small thyroid cancer or a benign nodule and want the best cosmetic result.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06748352Recruiting
Robot-assisted scope removal for early stomach cancer
This study tests a new robot-assisted tool to remove early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous cells through a scope (endoscope) without open surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing the abnormal tissue completely.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06784986RecruitingPhase 4
Low-pressure gas system for robotic prostate surgery
This trial tests whether a special gas system (Airseal) used with very low air pressure during robotic prostate removal surgery can help patients recover better. It compares this to standard methods for men with prostate cancer.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18–65 - NCT06791538Recruiting
Robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial compares robotic-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced stomach cancer. It aims to see which approach offers better outcomes and recovery for patients.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06803719Recruiting
Chinese adults' views on robotic and remote surgery
This study surveys Chinese adults to understand their thoughts on robotic surgery, telesurgery, and telemedicine. The results may help improve how these technologies are introduced and explained to patients.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06839482Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm therapy after recent stroke
This study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
Elkins Park, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT06841484Recruiting
Robotic tools vs. human-assisted tools in stomach cancer surgery
This study tests two ways of using robotic tools during stomach cancer surgery: one where the surgeon controls all instruments from a console, and another where a human assistant operates some tools. It aims to see which method works better for patients having the lower part of the stomach removed.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06844123Recruiting
Robot-assisted corneal transplant surgery study
This study tests a new robot-assisted surgical technique for doing a full-thickness corneal transplant. The goal is to see if the robot can help make the surgery more precise and safer.
ReimsAges 18–60 - NCT06856356Recruiting
Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery study
This study tests if robot-assisted total knee replacement surgery is safe and effective. It may help people who need knee replacement surgery by using advanced technology for more precise implant placement.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06881407Recruiting
Robot and VR games to improve arm use in kids with cerebral palsy
This study tests if playing virtual reality games with a humanoid robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve arm function. Your child would play fun games while using their arm, which may strengthen movement and coordination.

Robotic vs augmented reality knee replacement
This study compares two advanced technologies for total knee replacement: a robot that uses a CT scan for guidance versus an augmented reality system that uses no scan. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes for patients with osteoarthritis.
Sint-Martens-Latem, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–85 - NCT06895447RecruitingPhase 2
Robot-assisted stomach cancer surgery after chemo or radiation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for robotics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 466 recruiting robotics studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a robotics trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a robotics trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
