Problem
Current service robots in healthcare often have limited functionality, performing only single tasks and requiring internet connectivity, which can be unreliable or unavailable in certain healthcare environments. This lack of versatility and dependence on external networks leads to high costs and inflexibility.
Solution
Xtend Robotics offers customizable service robots designed for the healthcare industry, utilizing a patented offline AI engine and modular architecture. This approach enables the robots to perform multiple tasks in parallel and operate without internet connectivity, addressing the limitations of single-purpose, cloud-dependent robots. The robots' "Brain & Behavior" architecture allows for proactive interaction with users and simultaneous multitasking, while over-the-air (OTA) upgradability ensures continuous improvement and adaptation to evolving needs. By using a modular design with common hardware and AI packages, Xtend Robotics achieves faster time-to-market and cost efficiencies in developing custom products.
