Robot solution company Marosol announced on the 30th that it has been selected for the ‘2024 Service Robot Demonstration Project’ in collaboration with Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital and will provide a robot guidance solution.

The Service Robot Demonstration Project is a support project promoted by the Robot Industry Promotion Agency to overcome the limitations of market creation by supporting service-centered robot utilization demonstrations and to support promising service robot fields. It provides up to 50% support for introduced hardware, software, and essential customization costs.

Marosol plans to deploy guidance robots from the basement level 1, where the examination rooms are concentrated, up to the 2nd floor to assist the movement of each patient. Considering the complexity of the hospital, multiple robots will share their tasks and guide patients according to different scenarios. Through the heterogeneous robot integrated management solution 'Solink,' floor-by-floor robot guidance will continue smoothly, allowing patients to complete their consultations and examinations more comfortably.

Haeundae Paik Hospital plans to expand the scope of robot utilization by enhancing the guidance robot functions and additionally introducing delivery robots to replace the delivery of used instruments and medications with robots.

Professor Cho Hyunjin, head of the Service Innovation Center at Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital, said, “We introduced a new concept called inter-floor linked accompaniment to overcome the elevator boarding limitations of guidance robots,” adding, “We will strive to establish robots as helpers assisting patients in the hospital through specific scenario settings and on-site verification.”

Kim Minkyo, CEO of Marosol, said, “We have opened a path to guide patients’ movements seamlessly through inter-floor linked guidance,” and added, “As a result of exploring methods with new demand sources, we were able to develop an optimized guidance solution for hospitals.”
