The jobs.
Robots are good at a specific kind of work: repetitive, predictable, physical and long-running. These are the jobs we most often start with.
Commercial robotics
Robotics for the places people live, work, shop and visit.
Deliver
- Carry meals from the kitchen to the room, table or desk
- Move online orders from the store to a collection point in the mall
- Run parcels and documents between floors of an office building
- Take medication from the pharmacy to the ward
- Move laboratory samples between departments
- Restock supplies, linen and amenities on a schedule
Clean
- Scrub and sweep large commercial floors after hours
- Keep high-traffic mall and lobby floors clean through the day
- Clean hospital corridors on a repeatable, recorded schedule
Serve
- Guide and greet at reception and events
- Clear and deliver in restaurants and banqueting
- Deliver guest requests to hotel rooms
Connect
- Call and ride the lift without a person
- Open automatic doors and pass access control
- Take jobs directly from ordering, hospitality and facilities systems
Industrial automation
Robotics for the places things are made, moved and stored.
Move
- Move trolleys, totes and pallets between receiving, storage and dispatch
- Feed components to the line and take finished goods away
- Move work-in-progress between cells
- Transport racks to pick stations
- Count inventory continuously with vision instead of a stock-take
Handle
- Load and unload a CNC machine
- Tend a press, moulder or test rig
- Pick and place parts for assembly
- Drive screws and fasteners on a repeatable assembly
- Palletise cases at the end of the line
- Polish, finish or weld where the process is suitable
See

- Measure and verify dimensions in line
- Count and recognise components
- Guide a robot arm to a part that is not perfectly placed
- Monitor a workstation or process step for verification
