General-Purpose Hospital Robot: Introducing EASO 1.0

Controlled by our general-purpose manipulation AI, the robot is able to perform a wide range of tasks, from pick-and-place style tasks, pulling bins from shelves, and opening drawers
The patented multi-fingered vaccum suction end-effector allows selecting the right suction cup for a wide range of Items
The patented flap is unfolded automatically prior to pulling large and heavy items from shelves, or racks (e.g. bins or medication trays).
Reconfigurable, lockable, drawers allow EASO to carry a large amount of inventory to its desired destination.
EASO is able to navigate autonomously through busy hospital hallways.

Empowerment Through Automation: Features

By combining our general-purpose manipulation-AI with our adaptive, reconfigurable robot platform allows to rapidly adjust to any automation task.

Assembling medication trays

How it works:

  • Robot Scans Trays to Determine Missing or Misplaced Items

  • Robot Collects Items from Shelves

  • Robot Restocks Items into Tray

  • Robot Validates Tray using Combination of Computer Vision and RFID

Restocking medication cabinets

How it works:

  • Robot loads itself in hospital's central pharmacy (or alternatively is loaded by staff).

  • Robot visits one medication cabinet after the other.

  • Using our proprietary Manipulation-AI, the robot takes medication from its own drawer and places it into cabinet, updating inventory, and checking expiration dates.

Frequent questions

Will the robot be able to enter and work in a medication room with tight dimensions?

EASO 1.0 is 2 feet in diameter which is smaller than the vast majority of medication room doors. The robot is also able to turn in place and is built to navigate in very tight spaces. Emancro Staff is happy to review your hospital's floor plans or measure the space to confirm that our robots can work in the environment.

How long does it take to restock a medication cabinet?

It will take EASO about 20-30 minutes to restock a medication cabinet with around 50 items.

How long does the robot’s battery last?

The battery life is 13-20h depending on use. Using a fleet of only two robots 100% uptime will be guaranteed.

How does the robot enter data into the Medication Cabinet?

The robot will be equipped with an electronic interface to the medication cabinet which will allow it to wirelessly transmit data (such as item counts or expiration dates) to the medication cabinet. However this is not yet implemented in the current pilot version. Therefore the robot will initially use its finger to type this information on the medication cabinet’s keyboard or touch screen.
