Solutions: robotics by task, not by machine

Capacity is not the problem — staffing is.

According to the OECD, Europe is already short of around 1.2 million healthcare professionals; by 2030 it could be more than four million. For Germany, the Federal Statistical Office expects a gap of 280,000 to 690,000 nursing staff by 2049. The rooms, the equipment and the beds are there. The people are not.

That is why we organise what we offer by task rather than by machine. Every page states what works today, what does not, and what it costs – in a conversation, not in a catalogue.

Healthcare

• Service robots in hospitals – logistics, cleaning, reception
• Service robots in care homes – more time for residents
• Transport robots in hospitals – material, linen, samples
• Cleaning robots for clinics and care – hygiene with proof
• Humanoid robots in care – u & Me, so that you have more time

Your robot. Your data.

A robot that works inside your building sees and hears things that are nobody’s business outside it. That is why AI processing runs on the device, not in someone else’s cloud. No permanent internet connection is required for operation, which makes closed hospital, care-home and laboratory networks possible. What is generated in your building stays in your building: you decide what is stored, analysed or deleted. Through uGo+ you define who may start which tasks, and mission reports are auditable – the basis for a data protection impact assessment, your works council and any inspection.

Buy or rent: Robot-as-a-Service

You can buy, or rent under Robot-as-a-Service. With rental you pay a recurring monthly fee that covers hardware, software maintenance and service together – from the operating budget rather than the capital budget. That is the usual route for a pilot and for a staged rollout across several sites.

An honest note: renting is not automatically cheaper than buying – it shifts risk and timing. What works for your organisation depends on term, quantity, available funding and budget structure. We work through that openly in a first conversation instead of selling you a model. We do not publish prices, because configuration and integration scope decide the number – a figure without that context would be misleading.

Why us

• More than 500 units in daily operation in hospitals and laboratories – not pilot promises, but shift work.
• More than 20,000 robots deployed across all our product lines – 15 years of experience with people who work alongside robots.
• uGo+ as a single interface for tasks, permissions, reporting and fleet management – across multiple sites.
• Manufacturer, not reseller. Development, integration and service come from us.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a product page and a solution page?

A product page describes a robot. A solution page describes a task in your organisation and which systems handle it together – usually several, orchestrated through uGo+.

Which solution fits my organisation?

The shift decides, not the technology. Value appears first where staff are hard to find and tasks repeat. A first conversation takes twenty minutes.

Can robots be rented instead of bought?

Yes, all systems are available for purchase and as a rental under Robot-as-a-Service.

Where is data processed?

On the device. No permanent cloud connection is required for operation, and data stays inside your organisation.

The next step

A first conversation takes twenty minutes. Afterwards you will know whether deployment pays off in your organisation – and if it does not, we will say so. Reach us through the contact form or your existing contact at United Robotics Group.
