Swisslog SpeciMinder and RoboCourier Robots
     


Swisslog
Healthcare announced they will be making available two new robots to
hospitals, the SpeciMinder and RoboCourier. The robots are made for
Swisslog by CCS Robotics and are based on the MobileRobots
MT400 bases and Motivity autonomy technology. The Swisslog press
release explains what the robots are for:
SpeciMinder is designed exclusively for INTRA-departmental
materials transport. For example, a large one-floor laboratory or
pharmacy in which several workers frequently move goods among multiple
workstations is an ideal environment for SpeciMinder. RoboCourier will
be available later this year and is designed for INTER-departmental
materials transport. Like SpeciMinder, RoboCourier will be able to
interface with doors, but it will have the added capability of
interfacing with elevators and navigating hallways. This capability will
allow RoboCourier to navigate multiple floors within a hospital, meaning
it can transport materials from one department to another.

press release. If you'd like all the hardware details on the base,

MT400 Technical specifications.
