Aobo Hospital Service Robot Series

Aobo’s hospital service robot series encompasses multiple models designed for healthcare facility guidance, reception, and patient navigation tasks. These commercial service robots integrate voice interaction, autonomous navigation, and touchscreen interfaces to assist hospital visitors and reduce administrative workload.

Product Overview

The Aobo service robot lineup includes humanoid and functional designs targeting healthcare, hospitality, and commercial applications. In hospital settings, these robots serve as intelligent guidance assistants positioned in lobbies, outpatient registration areas, and health examination centers.

Unlike surgical or diagnostic medical robots, Aobo’s products function as facility service equipment rather than clinical devices. They provide wayfinding assistance, answer common inquiries, and guide patients to appropriate departments without direct involvement in medical procedures.
