SPECIMINDER


SpeciMinder is a commercial Hospital Delivery Robot by CCS Robotics. Description from the webpage:

Whether within a large lab area or between floors, the RA-418 SpeciMinder™ can autonomously navigate and securely carry specimens throughout a healthcare facility.
No modification to the facility is necessary for the SpeciMinder™ to reach its destination (this is NOT an old-fashioned line follower). Featuring ARCSinside™ from MobileRobots, the RA-418 uses a self-created map of the building and simple user interaction to routinely travel between the emergency room and the lab. Manual calling will bring the autonomous mobile platform to your test station as well as dispatch it to the destination. Controlled access to the payload compartment ensures accountability and traceability of samples. Tamper proof and water tight carrier prevents biohazards.
