Honored to see Moxi and Diligent Robotics featured in Amazon Web Services (AWS)’s new article, “Physical AI in practice: Technical foundations that fuel human-machine interactions.” The piece walks through how physical AI systems are designed, trained, and deployed in the real world, using our Moxi The Robot’s work in hospitals as a concrete example. We are grateful to AWS, NVIDIA, MassRobotics and to authors Sri Elaprolu, Alla Simoneau, Francis Paul Amadeo, and Laura Kulowski, PhD for such a thoughtful look at how data, simulation, and edge intelligence can support human teams. Looking forward to continuing the conversation at AWS:Reinvent in Las Vegas next week. https://lnkd.in/gREukCQK
About us
We are a human-centered robotics company. Our mission is to make technical advances towards robots and humans working together side by side, with an emphasis on human-centric design. Diligent Robotics is developing a suite of artificial intelligence that enables robots to collaborate with and adapt to humans in everyday environments. Our service robots are designed to participate and work together with teams of humans. Our first product is a hospital service robot that can assist clinical staff with logistical tasks, allowing them to spend more of their time on direct patient care, improving patient satisfaction, quality of service, and safety.

Thanks for sharing Brian Heater!
This is the next version of Diligent Robotics healthcare robot, Moxi. The system was announced in tandem with the enterprise-focused IGX Thor platform at NVIDIA GTC event Tuesday in DC. The Blackwell-powered system is focused on robotics, industrial, and medical AI applications. Moxi 2.0 arrives on the heels on 1.25 million deliveries performed by its predecessor, constituting what the Austin firm calls “one of the largest datasets of real-world human-robot interaction.” The earlier system is currently deployed in 25 hospitals, largely focused on delivering medications and samples. Most of the Moxi changes appear to be under the hood, courtesy of that NVIDIA partnership. CEO Andrea Thomaz, “Moxi 2.0 has 10x the compute of Moxi 1.0, thanks to the rapid advancement of the NVIDIA Jetson line. We’re excited about how the new NVIDIA IGX Thor platform pushes the boundaries of AI performance at the edge, unlocking possibilities for future generations of intelligent, human-centered robots.” The hardware itself looks similar to the first Moxi at first glance, including the wheeled base and a mobile manipulator that can be used to press elevator buttons to help the robot more freely roam the hospital without direct human intervention. The company notes that Moxi 2.0 was built with scalability in mind, writing, “The new design is optimized for manufacturability and hardened to support the fleet’s quickly growing scale. Diligent adds that the new version allows hospitals to now deploy 15 units per site. “As a result, Diligent expects to double its hospital footprint annually, and deploy thousands of robots deployed 2030.” This news comes arrives shortly after Diligent announced its participation in AARP’s accelerator program, which will expand Moxi’s footprint into non-hospital care facilities.

Headed to Becker's Healthcare's Fall Chief Pharmacy Officer Summit? So are we. Our team will be on site November 5–6 at the Hilton Chicago to connect with pharmacy leaders shaping the future of hospital care. With over a billion steps walked for clinical teams, Moxi The Robot is helping hospitals rethink how work gets done, streamlining medication delivery, improving turnaround times, and giving pharmacy and nursing teams time back for what matters most. We’d love to show you what’s possible. Book a demo or learn more here https://hubs.ly/Q03QRp250 #PharmacyInnovation #Beckers #CPO #ChiefPharmacyOfficer #Pharmacy #PhysicalAI #BeckersCPO #HealthTech

Big news: Moxi 2.0 is here! 🎉 We are excited to unveil the next generation of our platform advancing the largest fleet of deployed, AI-powered mobile manipulation robots operating in unstructured, human-centric work environments. Moxi 2.0, powered by NVIDIA and accelerated computing, combines redesigned hardware and a new AI foundation model built on years of real-world deployment data to expand autonomy and scale across clinical environments. We’re proud to build embodied AI that doesn’t just demo, it delivers. Thanks to Brianna Wessling and The Robot Report for sharing the news. Full story linked below. https://lnkd.in/gJhwyf4W

Hospitals are noisy, dynamic, human places. That’s exactly where Moxi works best. We’re grateful to David Bruns and The Washington Post for spending time on the ground with Moxi The Robot and for capturing what it looks like when an AI-robot becomes part of the team. This story isn’t about the future but about the workforce we are supporting right now: overextended, under-supported, and still delivering care with compassion.
