GoCart Getting Ready For Market Launch

 
BERLIN - Sept. 3, 2016 - PRLog -- South Korea-based Yujin Robot (KOSDAQ: 056080), a leader in delivering robotic solutions, presents GoCart V2.0 and GoCart mini, the new autonomous transport robots designed to operate in all elderly and health care facilities. A new version based on the GoCart V2.0 is getting ready for market launch in Q1, 2017.

GoCart combines the latest autonomous navigation and mobility technologies developed by Yujin Robot. GoCart has unprecedented flexibility and ease of use. It maps the environment and uses an array of sensors and cameras to autonomously carry out its deliveries without interfering with people and other objects. With its IoT-based interface, GoCart easily connects with any facility's existing IT system including elevators and automatic doors and works with smartphones, tablets, PCs, and smart TVs.

Based on the feedback received during trade show participations and demonstrations in Germany, USA and Sweden in 2014, Yujin Robot developed GoCart V2.0 in 2015. This bigger version carries significantly heavier and larger payloads, while keeping a compact build size. With this new GoCart a series of field tests in Spain, South Korea and New Zealand was performed throughout 2015 and 2016.

First, the robots travelled to Sitges, Spain, to conduct a field test during September, 2015, at the Ave Maria Foundation, a care facility for people with intellectual disabilities. The goal was to identify the facility's needs in meal, linen and other routine logistics and developed corresponding service scenarios.

Later, in April, 2016, GoCarts were deployed at the Eulji University Medical Center and tested with  two service scenarios: multi-floor deliveries of general medical supplies and lab samples, both with elevator integration.

Then in July, 2016, the robots visited Auckland, New Zealand, in order to conduct two field tests in parallel for three weeks: one at LabTests and one at the Mercy Parklands hospital. At Labtests a lab sample delivery scenario was implemented using our newest robot, GoCart mini. This latest member of the GoCart family, is the most compact and agile and is a perfect fit for scenarios with busy and narrow environments, such as lab sample deliveries in laboratories and snack deliveries in hotels, restaurants and malls. At the Mercy Parklands hospital, a meal-delivery scenario involving lunch deliveries, dirty dish pickups and afternoon tea deliveries was implemented using GoCart V2.0.

During the field tests Yujin Robot's team worked closely with the staff and managers to implement service scenarios, which save time and cost, increase workflow efficiency, relieve staff from repetitive tasks and further improve the care of patients and residents. With the gather feedback from the field tests the team at Yujin Robot is now developing a new model based on GoCart V2.0 to be ready for a market launch in Q1, 2017.
