Hospital robots can assist almost every department.
Nursing Home Robots can:
- Greet Visitors
- Vacuum, scrub, sweep and mop
- Transport supplies, food, medicine, specimens, linens and more
- Improve efficiency
- Solve staffing challenges
- Improve worker satisfaction
CLEANING ROBOTS
Cleaning robots are most effective in long hallways and lobbies, and cafeteria. At this time, no models are suitable for cleaning patient rooms. Depending on the model, robots may perform up to four functions – vacuuming carpets, scrubbing floors, dust mopping and sweeping. Cleaning robots can be programmed to return specific areas as visitors drag in sand, mud or snow. If there is an accidental spill, some models can be used manually, enabling quick cleanup. Wet floor signs can be reduced or eliminated. The risks from slips and falls are reduced.
Many cleaning employees struggle to finish their assignments during their shift. Instead, they focus on what managers and visitors notice – the floors. They tend to neglect the invisible germs on toilet seats, sinks and countertops as well as high-touch surfaces including door handles, light switches, and shared keyboards. Floor cleaning robots free workers to perform sanitization and other high value tasks.

HOUSEKEEPING ROBOTS
Housekeeping services move linens from the laundry to patient rooms. Whether they are moving sheets and pillowcases or blankets and bedspreads with optional shelves or laundry baskets, heavy load robots can traverse elevators and carry large loads to and from storerooms. With capacities of up to 650 pounds and speeds up to 200 feet per minute, they can make quick work of large projects.
TRANSPORT ROBOTS
An enclosed robot with security features is an effective alternative to employees pushing carts around the facility. These robots provide contactless, hygienic service. With up to four adjustable compartments, each accessible independently, they can serve multiple locations in a single trip. Security systems protect both privacy and the chain of custody. Medicine and laboratory specimens can be moved long distances. Platform robots with shelves and large locking compartments can be used to transport medical supplies, food, and equipment that require less security.

DINING ROBOTS
Most skilled nursing facilities use a combination of dining rooms and bedside service. Restaurant robots assist the food service staff by transporting food from the kitchen to the tables. The staff removes the plates from the robot’s trays and serve the food to the patients. Robots make service faster and more enjoyable, reduce waste, and increase efficiency. They do all the heavy lifting so employees are happier and employee retention improves.
Rapid robotic deliveries ensure freshness and enhance safety because workers aren’t juggling heavy trays. Robots will be even more effective if they are used to return the dirty plates and tableware directly to the dishwashing area.
Features vary with each model. A model that advertises the daily special is inappropriate for a skilled facility, but it could promote bingo at 3 P.M. Other features may include touch controls, tray detection, tray lights, on-screen guidance and voice prompts. Some models will fit through doors and aisles as narrow as 22 inches.
Transport robots are the preferred option for moving food from the kitchen to the floors with patients.
