At PAL Robotics we are already regularly customizing and adapting our robots so that they can be used in European-funded research projects. The overall aim of these projects is to make new robot uses, such as widespread use in hospitals and residential homes, a reality. Such testing of our robots in new scenarios therefore makes them viable to be quickly incorporated into medical settings to help fight coronavirus (COVID-19).

Our robots including ARI, TIAGo and TIAGo Base have the capacity to support hospitals in a number of ways. The potential services they can bring includes: food delivery, telepresence, medical dispatching, disinfection of areas and human temperature checking. Here are some examples (see reference).
