Many professionals in the healthcare industry need to spend a fair amount of time performing menial tasks throughout the day, so the 'Moxi' healthcare service robot is engineered to help eliminate the need for this. The robot is programmed to complete various non-patient-facing tasks that will let nurses focus more on the needs of patients instead of tending to things behind the scenes.
The robot features a moving head with LED eyes that allow it to express itself to others in the environment to create a better connection with them. The 'Moxi' healthcare service robot is outfitted with a bevy of sensors that will allow it to seamlessly navigate through tight hallways to deliver supplies or even handle lab samples.
