OTWorld.education + research
The exhibition area OTWorld.education + research in Hall 1 stands for knowledge transfer, innovation and international networking. Here you can explore how new technologies, research and education interact to actively shape the care solutions of tomorrow.
Special Exhibition “Robotics + AI”
In the special exhibition “Robotics + AI”, you will experience how modern assistive systems, humanoid robots and intelligent technologies are influencing the future of orthopaedic and healthcare provision. Innovative solutions demonstrate in a practical way how robotics and artificial intelligence support workflows, complement therapies and open up new fields of application in care, training and everyday life.
You can explore concrete use cases, try out interactive applications on site and engage directly with experts from research, development and practice. Short talks and live demonstrations show how digital technologies are already being used today – and what potential they hold for advancing modern care concepts.
OTWorld.campus
The OTWorld.campus is your international platform for education, training and professional development. Universities, colleges and technical schools from around the world present their current study and education programmes – from traditional training pathways to innovative, interdisciplinary courses.
You will gain an overview of career and qualification opportunities in healthcare professions and receive authentic insights into student life as well as current research and development projects. Direct exchange with lecturers, students and young professionals makes the campus a key meeting point for anyone looking to develop professionally and academically.
Special highlights in 2026 include a myoelectric railway model and a self-driving wheelchair. These student-developed projects impressively demonstrate how creativity, technical expertise and practice-oriented research come together.
German Federal Technical School for Orthopaedic Technology (BUFA)
The BUFA stand is also part of the OTWorld.education + research exhibition area. Here you can find information on qualifications, examinations and professional development in orthopaedic technology. BUFA offers personal consultation, answers questions about training and continuing education pathways, and provides insights into its programmes and services.
