（Shared from the Institute for Biotechnology and Medicine Industry）With nursing shortages reaching critical levels globally, Foxconn's Nurabot deployment marks a pivotal moment where manufacturing expertise meets healthcare innovation, promising to restore the human touch in medical care by liberating staff from routine logistics. In a significant move that underscores its strategic pivot into next-generation industries, Taiwan’s manufacturing giant Foxconn is poised to deploy its healthcare robot, Nurabot, in hospitals across Taiwan starting this October. This launch is a foundational component of Foxconn’s ambitious Smart Hospital initiative, a long-term vision designed to harness the power of AI, robotics, and digital integration to fundamentally transform the healthcare ecosystem. The Nurabot is the result of a powerful collaboration between Foxconn, renowned Japanese robotics firm Kawasaki, and the Taichung Veterans’ General Hospital (TCVGH). This partnership is more than a technical venture; it represents a commitment to creating a future where technology serves as a seamless extension of human care. According to Barry Chiang, Foxconn’s Chief of Digital Health and President of its B Business Group and a key leader in this transformation, the Nurabot is a pivotal step toward a new era. “The robot will be in service after completing the ongoing stress test at TCVGH, and with deployment completed by year end, we expect to launch the total solution in 2026, just in time for the government’s Healthy Taiwan Cultivation Plan,” Chiang stated during an exclusive interview with the Institute for Biotechnology and Medical Industry (IBMI). A Solution Born from User-Centric Design Foxconn’s foray into healthcare is not a simple transfer of its industrial robotics expertise. While the company is a global leader in producing robotic arms for “lighthouse factories” and complex manufacturing lines, it recognized from the outset that medical environments are vastly different. Robots in a hospital must meet stringent safety, regulatory, and user experience requirements that are far more complex than those on a factory floor. This understanding led to a unique, user-centric “design-thinking” approach. The journey began in 2022 when Chiang established a new organization, which later became the Taiwan Digital Health Alliance (HiMEDt). Rather than starting with a product, his team began by deeply embedding themselves in the very environments they hoped to improve. They conducted in-depth visits to key hospitals across Taiwan, communicating directly with doctors and nurses to map a comprehensive understanding of their daily challenges.First-hand observations at the Taichung Veterans’ General Hospital were particularly illuminating. The research team discovered a striking inefficiency: nursing staff spent an estimated 30-40% of their valuable time on logistical tasks—delivering specimens, blood bags, and medicines. The rest of their day was equally demanding, consumed by critical, patient-facing duties such as providing health education, conducting routine rounds to check patient conditions, and listening for subtle sounds to prevent accidents like falls. This insight proved that offloading routine, repetitive tasks would not simply increase efficiency; it would free up nurses to focus on the human elements of care that technology cannot replicate. To translate these insights into a viable product, Foxconn assembled a truly multidisciplinary team. It included not only AI algorithm engineers and industrial designers but also user interface designers and project managers with specialized biotech backgrounds. This diverse expertise ensured that the robot was not only technologically sound but also intuitive for medical staff and compliant with all necessary regulations. The Technology Powering Nurabot At its core, the Nurabot is a sophisticated autonomous mobile robot (AMR) engineered to address the specific pain points identified in the user research. Its primary function is to reduce the workload of nursing staff by autonomously delivering blood and urine specimens and carrying temperature-sensitive blood bags in a dedicated, low-temperature storage trunk. To guarantee security and accuracy, the robot is equipped with biometric mechanisms, ensuring that critical medical supplies are delivered to the correct person at the right location, every time. One of Nurabot’s most impressive features is its seamlessly integrated four-cloud architecture, built on NVIDIA’s three computing platforms—Omniverse, Isaac Sim, and Jetson—and directly connected to the hospital HIS system to enable automated task dispatching. While this may appear straightforward, it is powered by a complex, multi-layered computing framework that Barry Chiang poetically described as a “chorus.”  To achieve this perfect harmony, Nurabot leverages four distinct "clouds" working in unison: FoxBrain: Foxconn’s proprietary large language model, which serves as the robot’s central cognitive engine. Digital Twin Environment (Omniverse): A collaborative simulation and testing environment built on NVIDIA Omniverse, enabling continuous validation and optimization of Nurabot’s performance through digital twin modeling. NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin: This powerful AI-at-the-edge computing platform allows Nurabot to process sensory data in real time, enabling it to navigate complex hospital environments, avoid obstacles, and make immediate, safe decisions. The Hospital's Private Cloud (HIS): This system integrates the robot directly into the hospital's internal network, allowing it to receive orders and securely access necessary information. In a hospital environment that operates 24/7, reliability is paramount. Nurabots are designed for continuous service, powered by swappable batteries that can be exchanged instantly at a charging station. This simple but critical feature ensures that a Nurabot is always ready for its next mission, minimizing downtime and maintaining the flow of operations. Aligning with Taiwan's National Vision Foxconn is strategically launching the Nurabot service in collaboration with key medical institutions, including Taichung Veterans’ General Hospital and the Matzu Hospital in Baishatun. This initial rollout has already generated significant interest, with major hospitals like Shin Kong Hospital and Kaohsiung Medical School Hospital expressing a desire to collaborate. The timing of this initiative could not be more perfect, as it aligns directly with Taiwan’s Healthy Taiwan Cultivation Plan. This five-year, NT$48.9 billion (US$1.61 billion) government initiative is aimed at accelerating the digital transformation of the country’s medical landscape. While many hospitals are eager to participate and secure a portion of the funding, very few qualified providers are capable of delivering a comprehensive, full-scale solution like the one being offered by Foxconn. The Nurabot is just one piece of this larger vision. Foxconn has also collaborated with hospitals like New Taipei Municipal TuCheng Hospital and Taipei Veterans’ General Hospital to build cancer and disease datasets for AI models called CoDoctor AI. This work is a testament to the company’s broader 3+3+3 strategy, which identifies digital health and robotics as two of its three future megatrends, with AI as one of its core technologies. By leveraging its vast computing power and infrastructure, Foxconn is positioning itself as the ideal partner for hospitals seeking to qualify for government funding and lead the charge in the digital transformation of healthcare. The deployment of Nurabot is a tangible manifestation of Foxconn's strategic evolution. It’s not just about building a product; it’s about pioneering a new model for healthcare that could address critical global challenges like nursing shortages and burnout. As Nurabot begins its service in Taiwan, it will serve as a powerful proof of concept for a future where technology empowers, rather than replaces, human caregivers.

Pflegelaien formulieren in Artikeln oder Büchern immer wieder missverständlich von „Pflegerobotern“. Dadurch entsteht beim Leser der Eindruck, die Maschinen würden pflegen, vielleicht gar Pflegefachleute ersetzen können. Das ist falsch, wie auch Alice Lin, Director of UX/UI Design, Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) im Interview deutlich macht. Begriffe im englischen wie clinical assistant robot oder collaborative robot (Cobot) sind da weitaus treffender. Die intelligenten Helfer übernehmen Transportaufgaben und erledigen Bringdienste, können leichte Routineaufgaben lösen und die Pflegeprofis informieren, wenn sie irgendwo noch dringender als ohnehin schon gebraucht werden. Sie pflegen keine Menschen – nicht einmal die fortschrittlichsten Modelle tun das bislang. Das soll weder die Leistungen der Serviceroboter schmälern noch ihre Wichtigkeit in Frage stellen. Gerade Pflegenden ist es hochwillkommen wenn patientenferne Aufgaben erledigt werden, ohne ihre ohnehin knappe Zeit in Anspruch zu nehmen. Die Expertise von Pflegeprofis gehört an die Menschen, die sie brauchen. Das erfordert Zeit, die nicht durch Hol- und Bringedienste verschwendet werden sollte. Kurz: Roboter dienen der Pflege – aber sie pflegen nicht. Ob das irgendwann einmal anders werden wird, ist offen. Sicher ist jedoch: die hierzulande häufig verwendete Bezeichnung „Pflegeroboter“ ist irreführend.Alice Lin (Foxconn) im InterviewDer sogenannte Nurabot nutzt KI‑Modelle, Digital‑Twin‑Training und ist aktuell in Pilotprojekten im Smart Hospital Taiwan im Einsatz. Sein volles Potenzial im klinischen Alltag wird sich jedoch erst nach Abschluss umfassender Feldstudien und einem breiten Praxiseinsatz in unterschiedlichen Einrichtungen zeigen.Jochen Gust: Welche konkreten Aufgaben kann der Nurabot derzeit in Krankenhäusern oder Pflegeeinrichtungen übernehmen, und wie interagiert er mit Personal und Patienten?Alice Lin: Der Nurabot wird derzeit auf der Station W106 des Taichung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan klinisch erprobt (das Krankenhaus zählt laut Newsweek 2025 zu den 100 besten Smart Hospitals weltweit). Es handelt sich um einen kollaborativen Serviceroboter, der insbesondere bei wiederkehrenden logistischen Aufgaben im Klinikalltag zum Einsatz kommt, wie z.B. der Lieferung von Medikamenten und Proben, Erkennung von übermäßigem Umgebungslärm, er verfügt auch über Audio- und Wegweiser-Funktionen die Patienten helfen sich innerhalb der Station besser zurechtzufinden. Das stärkt die Orientierung der Patienten und ihr Sicherheitsgefühl während des Krankenhausaufenthalts. Der Nurabot interagiert mit dem medizinischen Personal über Sprachansagen, Touchscreen und ein Cloud-basiertes Dispatch-System. Gegenüber Patienten tritt er freundlich und sanft auf, gibt Medikamenten-, Pflege- und Entlassungshinweise. Der Roboter stellt einfache, standardisierte Fragen zum aktuellen Befinden der Patienten, um die Pflege bei Routinedokumentationen zu unterstützen.Dank seines multimodalen KI-Wahrnehmungssystems sowie Echtzeit-Positionierungs- und Navigationsfunktionen kann der Roboter Wege autonom planen, Hindernisse vermeiden und sich sicher in dynamischen und belebten Umgebungen bewegen. Ziel des Designs ist es nicht, menschliche Interaktion zu ersetzen, sondern das Pflegepersonal bei sich wiederholenden logistischen Aufgaben zu entlasten, damit mehr Zeit für komplexe und emotionale Pflege bleibt.Aktuell kein Fokus auf Menschen mit DemenzJochen Gust: Gibt es Anwendungsfälle oder Pilotprojekte mit Menschen mit Demenz? Welche Beobachtungen oder Herausforderungen ergaben sich?Alice Lin: Der Fokus von Nurabot liegt zunächst auf seiner Rolle als kollaborativer Serviceroboter. Von der Entwicklung bis zum Pilotbetrieb vergingen nur zehn Monate, seit April 2025 läuft ein Test, der bis Ende 2025 andauert. Der erste Einsatz erfolgt auf einer der geschäftigsten Stationen Taiwans, der W106 mit 68 Betten, zuständig für Lungenheilkunde und Mund-Kiefer-Chirurgie (u.a. bei Lungenkrebs, COPD, Asthma).Mithilfe von digitaler Zwillingstechnologie wurde die Station vorab virtuell abgebildet, wodurch 80 % möglicher Risiken schon vor dem Realbetrieb minimiert wurden. Unsere Praxiserfahrungen zeigten: Das „ungefährliche“ Design, ruhige Bewegungen und sanfte Sprache des Nurabot helfen, Ängste und Schreckreaktionen älterer Patienten zu reduzieren. Der Roboter kommt nicht direkt in physischen Kontakt mit Patienten, sondern unterstützt das Pflegepersonal – etwa bei Gesundheitsinformationen per Audio-Video-Format. Diese begleitende Rolle fördert Vertrauen. Zukünftig sind gezielte Studien auch für Demenzbetroffene geplant. Aktuell liegt hier aber kein Fokus.Jochen Gust: Inwieweit waren Pflegefachpersonen und andere Krankenhausmitarbeiter an der Entwicklung und Erprobung beteiligt?Alice Lin: Unser Ausgangspunkt war der reale Arbeitsalltag des Pflegepersonals. Eine Pflegekraft geht täglich über 10.000 Schritte – vieles entfällt allein auf Botengänge. Das Krankenhausmanagement und das Pflegepersonal waren offen gegenüber Innovation. Unser UX-Team interviewte und begleitete die Stationsleitung und Pflegekräfte auf der W106 direkt bei der Arbeit, um die zeitintensivsten und monotonsten Tätigkeiten zu identifizieren. Diese Erkenntnisse flossen direkt in die Funktionsgestaltung ein: Medikamenten- und Probenlieferung, Materialversorgung, Gesundheitsvideos. In der Designphase half das Pflegepersonal bei der Wegplanung und bei der Simulation realer Arbeitsabläufe. Auch in der Testphase erfolgten ständige Anpassungen durch das Foxconn-Team.Pflegeprofis spielten also eine Schlüsselrolle, um den Nurabot praxisnah, alltagstauglich und akzeptiert zu gestalten. Technisch wurde zudem eng mit Kawasaki Heavy Industries und NVIDIA zusammengearbeitet.Jochen Gust: Welche langfristige Rolle sehen Sie für den Nurabot – als Ergänzung oder Automatisierung auch komplexer Tätigkeiten?Alice Lin: Ziel ist es, das Gesundheitssystem resilienter zu machen, indem repetitive, belastende Aufgaben übernommen werden, um die Pflege zu entlasten. Mit wachsender KI-Entwicklung wird Nurabot zunehmend auch anspruchsvollere Aufgaben übernehmen, jedoch immer im Sinne der „Mensch-Maschine-Kollaboration“. Er soll Pflegekräfte unterstützen, nicht ersetzen. Die emotionale und empathische Arbeit bleibt weiterhin dem Menschen vorbehalten.Jochen Gust: Gibt es konkrete Pläne für einen Rollout in Europa bzw. Deutschland?Alice Lin: Digitale Gesundheit gehört bei Foxconn zu den drei strategischen Zukunftsfeldern (neben Robotik und E-Mobilität). Die Kerntechnologien sind Halbleiter, KI und neue Kommunikationssysteme. Ein Markteintritt in Europa, speziell Deutschland, wird aktiv geprüft. Voraussetzung wären jedoch u.a. Tests in Kooperationskliniken, CE-Zertifizierung und der Aufbau von Service- und Wartungsstrukturen gemäß lokalen Vorgaben. Die Kosten variieren je nach Einsatzgröße, Funktionsumfang und Serviceverträgen. Aktuell bietet Foxconn Komplettpakete an (Hardware, KI-Lizenzen, Cloud-Anbindung, Wartung).[Source: https://demenz-im-krankenhaus.de/2025/07/17/interview-mit-alice-lin-was-einer-der-weltweit-fortschrittlichsten-versorgungsroboter-im-dienste-der-pflege-derzeit-kann-und-was-nicht/]
