Since it was founded in 2017, Diligent Robotics Inc. has worked to deploy AI-powered mobile manipulators that collaborate with hospital teams. Today, the company announced the formation of its AI Advisory Board, which will provide insights into the latest artificial intelligence research. 

The advisory board is made up of leaders from Stanford, NYU, and Carnegie Mellon. Diligent Robotics the members for their research in collaborative robotics. In particular, the Austin, Texas-based company looked for researchers who focus on robots that operate alongside and learn from people in real-world environments.

“By partnering with these exceptional thought leaders, and their decades of academic excellence and research in embodied AI, this advisory board represents a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of embodied AI by bringing together our proven real-world success with the unmatched expertise of these world-renowned researchers,” stated Dr. Andrea Thomaz, founder and CEO of Diligent Robotics. “Together, we’re setting a new standard for how robots collaborate with humans to solve real-world challenges.”

Diligent Robotics said it has prioritized creating robots that not only perform tasks but also complement human strengths. Moxi, its flagship robot, is used by healthcare teams nationwide. It can navigate complex environments, manage delicate lab workflows, and operate with precision in patient care settings, Diligent said.

Last month, Diligent Robotics announced that its Moxi robot has completed 110,000 autonomous elevator rides at health systems in the U.S. It said the achievement marked a milestone in AI-driven automation for unstructured healthcare environments.
