The combination of soft robotics and mobile platforms delivers immense value across diverse industries, adapting to unique environments with ease. Below are some of the key applications:
- Hotels: Personalized Guest Services
In hospitality, creating memorable guest experiences is paramount. Hybrid robots equipped with SOMARICS’ Soft Robotic Package can:
- Deliver food, drinks, or toiletries to guest rooms without the risk of spillage or damage.
- Greet guests in lobbies with information or promotional materials.
- Perform cleaning or table arrangement tasks in banquet halls.
💡 Example: A mobile robot with a soft robotic arm gently placing a welcome gift in a guest’s room, reinforcing the hotel’s attention to detail and innovation.
- Airports: Streamlining Operations
Airports are hubs of activity that require seamless operations to handle large volumes of passengers and cargo. Hybrid robots can:
- Assist passengers by carrying luggage or guiding them to boarding gates.
- Handle fragile goods in duty-free shops or secure storage areas.
- Restock retail shelves with precision and care.
💡 Example: A soft robotic gripper picking up a fragile souvenir and placing it neatly on a display shelf without damaging packaging.
- Restaurants and Bars: Enhancing Dining Experiences
The food and beverage industry thrives on precision and presentation. Hybrid robots bring efficiency and creativity to:
- Delivering food and drinks to tables without human intervention.
- Clearing dishes and resetting tables with care.
- Preparing and decorating dishes, such as plating desserts or garnishing cocktails.
💡 Example: A robot gracefully serving a tray of drinks at a high-end restaurant, creating a futuristic dining experience that patrons can’t stop talking about.
- Hospitals: Improving Healthcare Delivery
In healthcare, precision and hygiene are critical. Hybrid robots powered by SOMARICS’ technology excel at:
- Transporting medications and sterile supplies to patient rooms or operating theaters.
- Assisting with non-invasive patient care, such as delivering meals or medical tools.
- Operating in highly controlled environments without compromising safety.
💡 Example: A hybrid robot delivering urgent medications to a specific ward, reducing workload for medical staff and ensuring timely care.
- Warehouses: Revolutionizing Logistics
Hybrid robots are invaluable in e-commerce and logistics, where speed and care are essential. They are perfect for:
- Picking and placing products on shelves or in delivery bins.
- Sorting fragile items, such as electronics or glassware, without causing damage.
- Navigating tight warehouse aisles while carrying heavy loads.
💡 Example: A soft robotic arm stacking fragile boxes on a conveyor belt, reducing human error and product returns.
