The robot has already been deployed in more than 15 hospital systems worldwide and is used to make deliveries from pharmacies and labs to different departments within the facility.

Using proprietary elevator technology, RelayRx can autonomously navigate through the entire hospital, providing timely deliveries with an average delivery time of seven minutes.

Relay Robotics founder and chief technology officer Steve Cousins said: “We’re proud of the technology and design advancements we’ve made in RelayRx to expand the delivery capacity and better serve hospital staff and their use cases like lab deliveries and chemotherapy from the pharmacy to the infusion centre.”
