Care runs on people, and the night shift is thin. A robot can help with the routine checks that pull staff away from residents, but only with clear permissions, a person responsible and a record the site can show. Cereal connects Cole's conversation to a supervised robot, with resident privacy agreed before it takes a step.
For care community operators, nursing leaders and hospital facilities teams
Start with rounds your staff already do: a supervised walk of an agreed corridor that reports blocked fire doors, obstructions or a wet floor to the nurse station. Our current quadruped is a supervised test robot, and its first real demonstration is in a home. Care workflows need their own site assessment, resident-privacy rules and supervised validation. It does not monitor residents, detect falls or provide care.
Test a short supervised round of a corridor and its shared spaces: fire doors closed and clear, nothing blocking a handrail, no spill on the floor. Each observation reaches the nurse station with the time and place, and a person decides what happens next.
A nurse or aide asks Cole, in plain words, for a look at a corridor, a lounge or a storeroom door. The robot goes only where it is allowed and reports what it sees. Requests and results stay with the site, so the next shift can see what was checked.
Keep who asked, what was checked, when and the outcome together, including checks that failed or were interrupted. Evaluate whether this makes rounds documentation easier. A robot's record does not replace the clinical or safety documentation your standards require.
Today · test robotConversation, observation and supported movement on our current quadruped. See the real demonstration; each new site still needs setup and validation.
Next · plannedWheeled robots that carry boxes and parcels between approved places. They will not move pallets or load and unload themselves. Specific models, payloads and integrations will be confirmed before deployment.
Then · plannedBodies for delivering items and serving people in homes, hotels and offices. Each workflow is tested before it is offered.
After that · plannedA humanoid upper body on a wheeled base, with arms for reaching and handover. Each manipulation task needs its own tested hardware and skill.
Later · plannedDrones for high places and large sites, and robot arms for fixed stations. Each needs its own integration and safety case before it joins a site.
Site context is designed to outlast a robot. A new body still needs a supported integration, localization, permission review and validation of its skills. Our cross-body demonstration to date is in simulation.
Read the cross-body result →Start small enough to learn what works. Expand only after the team and the site owner review the results.
Read about permissions and privacy →No cameras in residents' rooms, bathrooms or treatment areas. Agree which shared spaces are in scope, who can view results and how long anything is kept, and tell residents and families before the pilot starts.
Review corridor widths, handrails, doors, thresholds, lifts and where residents with walkers or wheelchairs move. Start on one approved corridor, at walking pace, with a staff member present and a stop procedure everyone knows.
Expect a security review of the network and data handling, a risk assessment, and a conversation with your insurer and regulator where needed. Nurse call, health records and access control are separate integrations, not automatic features.
A pilot should answer a real question for you. Record the starting point, test the agreed workflow and review where it helped or needed intervention.
No. Today the robot describes what it sees when asked, on agreed routes in shared spaces. It is not a resident monitoring, fall detection or medical device, and it does not replace nurse call, existing sensors or the rounds your care standards require.
Not the current quadruped: it has no arm and does not carry items. Robots that carry boxes and parcels between approved places are planned next, then delivery and butler robots. Anything involving medication would need its own controls and validation.
We design the record so a site can show what was checked, by which robot and under which permission. Whether it helps with a particular survey or standard depends on your jurisdiction and your own documentation. We do not claim regulatory approval.
