Should you deploy it?
0–100 — higher is stronger, except where noted.
How operationally ready this robot is for production deployment today.
Confidence in the published ROI numbers — how likely the savings actually materialize.
Share of the human task this category can credibly offload.
Fit with your target environment — lighting, floor type, congestion.
Expected maintenance load and downtime risk. Lower is better.
Long-horizon strategic upside — where the platform points 3+ years out.
Buy if you operate a hospital 200+ beds with 5+ material-transport couriers on shift; lease ($1,500–$2,000/month) typically pays for one FTE within 12–18 months in documented deployments. Skip if your facility is single-floor, lacks elevator, or needs outdoor mobility.

When to deploy this.
- 300+ bed teaching hospital pharmacy-to-unit delivery during peak hours (morning/noon medication rounds)
- Large hotel back-of-house linen and trash distribution across 10+ floors during overnight operations
- Multi-campus medical center coordinating equipment/specimen transport across connected buildings with shared elevators
When to skip it.
- Interior-only; cannot navigate outdoor ramps, sidewalks, or uneven terrain
- Lead-acid battery requires stable docking infrastructure and 4+ hour top-up cycles; limits rapid redeployment
- Lift mechanism is mechanical wear item requiring periodic maintenance; payload degrades if cart base becomes misaligned
What's verified, what's estimated.
Robofy separates manufacturer-confirmed facts from operator estimates. Anything not yet press-sourced or supplier-confirmed is tagged so you can decide how much weight to give it.
Specifications from official Aethon datasheets (2024) and product pages. Payload and speed verified across multiple distributor listings (RobotMP, Qviro, Fuji Machine Asia). Lease pricing from Robotics Business Review (2012–2013, most recent public data); current lease rates estimated from 2016 Machine Design reference ($1,500/month base). Elevator integration capability confirmed on official product page. Battery type and run time from spec sheets. Navigation stack (LIDAR, SLAM) noted in multiple third-party robotics directories. Market deployment scale (hundreds of hospitals, 5M+ annual miles) from Aethon corporate site and Mobile Robot Guide. Weight specification not disclosed in public materials; dimensions extracted from PDF datasheet measurements.
From rollout to recharge.
- 01
Map the environment
An installer drives or guides the robot through every aisle, table cluster, and pickup zone to build a high-resolution map.
- 02
Assign routes & service logic
Operators define pickup points, drop-off tables, queue priorities, and voice prompts in the fleet console.
- 03
Autonomous navigation
During service, the robot picks the safest path, avoids guests and obstacles in real time, and announces arrivals.
- 04
Return to dock
Idle robots auto-return to the charging dock, sync trip logs, and surface throughput metrics for the manager.
