Robot Brief

Moxi is a structurally defined as a socially intelligent Autonomous Mobile Manipulation Robot (AMMR). It integrates a wheeled mobile base for autonomous navigation throughout facility corridors and long robotic arm equipped with a gripper hand for physical interaction and manipulation. The robot's design emphasizes human acceptance and compliance; it features a vaguely humanoid head with wide LED eyes that contribute to a friendly, approachable aesthetic, minimizing staff and patient discomfort. The mobile base incorporates locking compartments for the secure transportation of sensitive materials, including prescriptions and controlled lab samples.

Use Cases

  • Delivery of Lab Samples:
    Moxi autonomously transport collected laboratary specimens from patient care units to the central lab, ensuring timely and secure transport.
  • Medication and Prescription Distribution:
    Handles the delivery of medications, including complex or high-risk substances such as narcotics and pediatric chemotherapy, from the pharmacy to secure drop-off points.
  • Supply Retrieval and Distribution:
    Executes tasks involving fetching general patient supplies, items from central supply, and restocking necessary equipment for nurses' stations or specific rooms.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Distribution:
    Supports frontline workers by distributing PPE where and when it is needed, a workflow that proved crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Infrastructure Access Operation:
    Uses its mobile manipulation capability to autonomously operate building infrastructure, including opening security doors and calling/navigating elevators, enabling seamless floor-to-floor logistics.

Industries

  • Healthcare:
    Moxi functions as a collaborator, augmenting nurses and clinicians by handling logistical burdens, directly contributing to improved staff retention and better patient care outcomes.
  • Logistics:
    Moxi provides crucial last-mile delivery capability within complex facilities. Its role involves automating the final, highly dynamic stages of internal transport, complementing established systems like pneumatic tube networks used for high-volume transport.

Intro

The primary objective of developing Moxi is to act as a collaborative robot (Cobot), providing augmentation to clinical staff in acute care hospitals by performing routine, high-frequency logistical tasks. Diligent Robotics’ mission centers on time reclamation, addressing the significant issue that nurses and other clinical personnel spend, on average, 30% of their shift engaged in non-care activities, such as fetching supplies, delivering lab samples, and retrieving medications. By automating these tasks, Moxi aims to mitigate nurse burnout, improve operational efficiency, and ultimately allow staff to dedicate more time to direct patient care.

Moxi is a sophisticated AMMR engineered specifically to operate within the existing semi-structured environment of hospitals without requiring costly infrastructure modifications. Its core functional components include a highly maneuverable wheeled base, designed to safely navigate standard hospital hallways and crowded areas, and a dedicated robotic arm and gripper for performing dexterous manipulation tasks. The robot’s physical interaction is enhanced by its social features; the head unit displays expressive LED eyes, designed to promote co-existence and social intelligence, ensuring it is perceived as a teammate rather than an obstacle. The integration of locking compartments is crucial, enabling the robot to maintain a secure chain of custody for sensitive medical items, thereby meeting the stringent security needs of medication and sample transport.

  • WiFi available

Capabilities

  • Autonomous Mobile Manipulation
    It combines the ability of integrate with and operate existing hospital infrastructure, such as calling and navigating elevators without human intervention.
  • Compliant Interaction
    Capable of safely avoiding people and obstacles while using non-verbal cues and verbal signals to interact effectively with staff.
  • Storage Compartments
    Integrated with secure and locking compartments that guarantees a strict chain of custody for highly sensitive or controlled materials, maintaining compliance standards.
