Overview
Moxi is a socially intelligent hospital robot that autonomously handles routine logistics — delivering supplies, lab samples, and medications. It navigates complex hospital environments and frees up 30% of nurses' non-patient-care tasks.
Why It's Notable
Deployed in Texas Health, Cedars-Sinai, and other major hospital systems. Improves nurse satisfaction.
How It Works
Moxi receives task assignments from hospital staff or automated systems, navigates hallways and elevators autonomously using LIDAR and cameras, picks up and delivers items, and returns for the next task. Social behaviors (head tilts, LED eyes) improve staff interaction.
