Product Overview
The TUG Autonomous Robot is a hospital logistics robot designed to autonomously transport medications, supplies, meals, linens, and laboratory specimens throughout hospitals and healthcare facilities. It navigates hospital corridors, elevators, and automatic doors using SLAM-based navigation with multi-sensor fusion, freeing clinical staff from time-consuming delivery tasks. With a payload capacity of up to 450 kg (1000 lbs), TUG handles substantial loads in a single trip, dramatically improving delivery efficiency across large hospital networks. Featuring multiple secure, lockable compartments with PIN access, TUG ensures safe transport of medications, controlled substances, and laboratory specimens while maintaining chain-of-custody records. The system integrates with hospital elevator systems via wireless API for autonomous multi-floor transport, and connects with hospital information systems (HIS) for delivery tracking and workflow optimization. With 12+ hour battery life and auto-charging capability, TUG supports 24/7 continuous hospital operations, allowing nurses and pharmacists to focus more time on direct patient care. Widely deployed in hospitals across the United States, TUG is transforming hospital logistics automation and setting new standards for healthcare efficiency.
