Robots help deliver meals for patients at Bristol’s new £430million super Southmead Hospital
Robots from the fleet of automatic guided vehicles which are now providing food for almost 1,000 patients at Southmead Hospital
This is the incredible fleet of robots helping to provide food for almost 1,000 patients at a new £430 million super hospital.
Southmead Hospital in Bristol has deployed a fleet of 12 automatic guided vehicles to deliver meals to its 950 patients.
The droids, which start work at 10.15 every morning, are capable of opening doors, operating lifts and picking up food without any human assistance.
They transfer chilled dishes to kitchens scattered around the hospital, where they are heated and then served to patients.
After completing their rounds, the machines return to their charging stations until they are called upon again for the next meal.
