Abstract: The medical workplace comprises a medical instrument (k) that is partially provided for treating living beings, an imaging device (2), which is arranged to create during the treatment of image data record from an interior of the living beings, a robot comprising robot arm with successively arranged limbs, on which the imaging device or the medical instrument are arranged, and a control device provided for moving the robot arm, where the control device is arranged to move the robot arm in such a way that the imaging device secured at the robot arm follows a movement of the medical instrument. The medical workplace comprises a medical instrument (k) that is partially provided for treating living beings, an imaging device (2), which is arranged to create during the treatment of image data record from an interior of the living beings, a robot comprising robot arm with successively arranged limbs, on which the imaging device or the medical instrument are arranged, a control device provided for moving the robot arm, where the control device is arranged to move the robot arm in such a way that the imaging device secured at the robot arm follows a movement of the medical instrument, or the medical instrument secured at the robot arm follows a movement of the imaging device, a navigation system connected with the control device of the robot, and a display device (4). The imaging device is arranged to create ultrasound images associated with the image data record from the interior of the living being, and/or the medical instrument is formed as a cannula for a suction of fatty tissue of the living being. The navigation system is arranged to detect positions and/or places of the robot arm, the medical instrument and/or the imaging device. The medical instrument comprises a vibration sensor. The medical workplace is arranged to: analyze the image data record on a undesirable and desired area for treating the living beings with the medical instrument; mark the image represented by the display device of the desirable and/or undesirable areas; stop or prevent the movement of the robot arm provided with the medical instrument on the basis of the analyzed image data record, when the medical instrument forms or threatens an outside of the desired area; generate an acoustic warning signal based on the analyzed image data record; and activate the vibration sensor based on the analyzed image data record. The display device is provided to represent an image associated with the image data record. The medical workplace further comprises additional robot with successively arranged limbs having robot arm, and additional control device provided for moving the additional robot arm. One of the robot arms is provided to move the imaging device, and an other robot arm is provided to move the medical instrument. Both control devices are coupled with each other in such a way that the movement is automatically performed during the movement of the robot arm and the other robot arm. Both robot arms automatically perform their movements. One of the robot arms is manually moved. The other robot arm automatically follows the movement of the manually moved robot arm, and is controlled by its control device. The manually movable robot arm is provided with the medical instrument.
