Moxi 2.0 mobile manipulator is built for AI, says Diligent Robotics - The Robot Report

Diligent Robotics has announced Moxi 2.0, the next-generation version of its mobile manipulator robot designed primarily for healthcare environments. Building on three years of real-world data from over 1.25 million hospital deliveries, Moxi 2.0 incorporates one of the largest datasets of human-robot interaction to date. The robot currently operates in more than 25 U.S. hospitals, assisting nurses and pharmacy staff by handling routine tasks such as delivering medications and lab samples, thereby improving workflow efficiency and reducing staff burnout. The upgraded Moxi 2.0, powered by NVIDIA Thor for enhanced AI compute, is designed to better navigate complex, dynamic indoor environments with improved reasoning, prediction, and adaptability, including pre-emptive navigation around obstacles like beds and wheelchairs. The new hardware platform of Moxi 2.0 is optimized for manufacturability and durability to support fleet expansion, with physical design improvements such as enhanced handles and servicing panels based on user feedback.
