Meanwhile, a robot named TUG scoots
all around hospital floors. This boxy robot
can bring a meal. It can take out trash.
It can carry medicine. First, a person loads
TUG. Then they tap a touch screen to
tell the robot where to go. TUG maps
out its own route. It uses wi-fi to call
elevators. Its sensors make sure it does not
run into people.
Yes. It says a few things. If you are in its
way, it will say, “Please stand aside.”
