IDObstacle avoidance
The robot uses obstacle detection and avoidance sensors to navigate operational areas.
AGV Logistics Robots
Mobile robots for distribution within hospitals.
AGV logistics robots distribute materials within hospitals using navigation without physical rails. The system coordinates robots, pickup points, and delivery locations to support material movement between departments.
- No physical rails
- Navigation in operational areas
- Multi-robot
- Robot fleet scheduling
- Doors & lifts
- Integration in the catalogue scenarios
Solution overview
Understanding the system.
The catalogue shows deliveries from warehouses or pharmacies to nurse stations, from food preparation areas to wards, and from warehouses to operating rooms. Managing several robots as a fleet supports delivery scheduling.
Integration with automatic doors, lifts, hospital information systems, and monitoring equipment is described as part of the ecosystem. Integration requirements depend on local infrastructure readiness and workflows.

Features & benefits
Designed for healthcare workflows.
Automatic doors
Supports automatic door opening and closing in integrated building scenarios.
Trackless navigation
Movement does not require physical floor rails; operational routes still need to be mapped.
Virtual traffic control
Virtual traffic control helps coordinate robot movement in healthcare areas.
Autonomous lift use
Lift integration enables movement between floors according to system settings and building infrastructure.
Multi-robot scheduling
Robot fleets can be managed to schedule tasks and distribution between departments.
Operation without continuous supervision
The catalogue lists unattended duty as an operating characteristic.
Automatic loading and unloading
Loading and unloading functions are described in distribution scenarios that support them.
Automatic delivery
Robots carry out deliveries to destinations assigned within the system.
How it works
How materials move.
Prepare the task at its origin
Materials are prepared in the warehouse, pharmacy, or food area. The system assigns the task and the robot that will perform it.
Load and begin the journey
The robot receives its load according to the selected equipment and loading configuration.
Navigate between locations
The robot follows its route, avoids obstacles, and interacts with integrated doors or lifts.
Deliver at the destination
Materials reach a ward, nurse station, or another department. Unloading and recording follow the system configuration.
