Automating hospital logistics with mobile robots
Efficient healthcare logistics are essential to delivering consistent, high-quality patient care. In hospitals around the world, staff often spend significant time on non-clinical tasks—transporting medications, linens, meals, and waste through crowded corridors.
These repetitive tasks, while necessary, pull focus from core patient responsibilities. That’s where autonomous mobile robots in healthcare come in.
MiR’s hospital delivery robots offer a smarter, safer, and more reliable way to streamline hospital logistics. As part of modern mobile hospital solutions, AMRs help reduce manual workload, enhance infection control, and optimize resource use—making them a valuable tool in the future of healthcare robotics.
Innovation from industry, benefiting hospitals
When MiR was founded, the vision was clear: develop autonomous mobile robots to transform hospital logistics. Hospitals faced rising pressure to do more with less—demanding flexible, reliable solutions to ease the burden on healthcare staff.
As the technology evolved, MiR robots quickly proved their value in industrial environments. Around the world, companies adopted them to optimize workflows, handle complex logistics, and improve safety. Their success in industry has only sharpened their relevance for the healthcare sector.
Now, MiR robots are returning to their roots—bringing industrial-strength performance to hospitals. Why? Because many hospital workflows closely resemble those in manufacturing: transporting heavy loads, maintaining precise delivery schedules, and operating safely in shared spaces.
Whether it’s delivering sterile instruments, transferring medications, or managing waste, MiR’s hospital delivery robots provide reliable, autonomous support. Their robust design, advanced navigation, and smart integration capabilities make them a natural fit for modern healthcare logistics.
By applying proven healthcare robotics technology in hospitals, MiR empowers facilities to automate with confidence—freeing up staff, improving accuracy, and ultimately enhancing patient care.
Why use AMRs at hospitals?
One of the greatest benefits of autonomous mobile robots in hospitals is their ability to eliminate non-value-adding tasks that pull healthcare professionals away from patient care.
Studies show that up to 30% of hospital operating costs are tied to logistics—and staff may spend as much as 20% of their time on transport-related duties. MiR’s AMRs help address this by automating internal deliveries, allowing clinical staff to focus on what matters most: the patient.
By integrating AMRs into hospital logistics, hospitals can:
Free up healthcare workers for patient-centered care
Ensure faster, more accurate delivery of critical items
Reduce physical strain and improve staff ergonomics
Designed for continuous operation, MiR AMRs run 24/7—including during peak hours and night shifts—ensuring reliable, efficient support for hospital operations. As part of modern healthcare robotics, they help create safer, more sustainable workflows.

What are the benefits of implementing AMRs in the hospital and healthcare sector?
Enhanced Patient Safety
AMRs minimize the risk of cross-contamination by reducing human contact during the transport of medications, lab samples, and sterile equipment. As robots in a hospital setting, they are easily disinfected—helping limit the spread of bacteria and viruses and supporting higher hospital logistics standards.
Greater Staff Efficiency
By taking over repetitive, time-consuming transport tasks—such as moving linens, medications, and supplies—AMRs enable healthcare workers to focus on clinical care. This shift improves healthcare logistics and enhances overall workflow efficiency.
Improved Ergonomics and Workplace Safety
AMRs handle heavy or awkward loads, reducing physical strain on hospital staff. This contributes to a safer work environment and fewer workplace injuries—key benefits of healthcare robotics in daily operations.
Faster and Reliable Deliveries
Whether transporting chemotherapy drugs, lab samples, or sterile kits, AMRs ensure timely, trackable delivery. These hospital delivery robots operate consistently—even during peak hours or overnight—boosting responsiveness and reliability.
Cost Efficiency and Scalability
With quick ROI and seamless integration into existing workflows, AMRs provide scalable mobile hospital solutions. As demand grows, fleets can expand easily—helping reduce costs while improving long-term operational performance.
