10things.ai develops Aida, a wheel-based, bimanual robot designed to handle daily care routines and household tasks in elder care homes. The robot assists with bringing essentials, reducing floor clutter, resetting rooms, and supporting hydration workflows, with each task validated through a platform-backed simulation-to-real deployment process. Aida is currently in active prototype development, targeting elder care as the initial market before expanding to broader healthcare and home robot applications.

Problem
Elder care homes face high staffing demands from repetitive daily tasks such as room resets, item delivery, laundry support, and floor-clutter removal, which contribute to staff fatigue and increased fall risks for residents. These environments have dense staffing needs and clear operational pain points, yet no practical robotic solution currently addresses these repeatable workflows in a validated, deployment-ready manner.
Solution
Aida by 10Things is a wheel-based, bimanual robot engineered to perform daily care routines and household support tasks within elder care homes. It handles bringing essentials, supporting hydration and snacks, moving light items, clearing floor clutter, managing laundry and linens, and resetting rooms, while handing off exceptions to human caregivers. The robot is backed by a platform that maps each task to a capability contract with simulation evidence, hardware validation, operational review, telemetry, and human-handoff protocols. Aida is in active prototype development, with healthcare applications planned through bounded operational workflows where human review remains in the loop.
Target Audience
Primary customers are elder care homes seeking to reduce staff workload and fall risks, with secondary expansion into healthcare facilities and service environments that have bounded operational workflows.
Features
- Wheel-based mobility with bimanual two-arm manipulation designed for indoor human environments
- Room-state understanding and conservative exception handling for safe operation around residents and staff
- Task capabilities include essentials delivery, hydration support, floor-clutter reduction, light-item movement, room reset, and linen/laundry workflows
- Platform-backed skill validation process combining capability contracts, simulation evidence, hardware validation, and telemetry for each deployable task
- Simulation-to-real workflow that supports integration progress and roadshow demonstrations with existing prototype hardware
