NTUC Health is using self-guiding robots to deliver linen and meals to wards in its nursing homes. Mr Sim Tan Rui, NTUC Health’s senior manager of operations, said that amid a manpower crunch, the system helps relieve staff of some strenuous activities and low-value chores. The home collaborated with Temasek Polytechnic in 2020 to develop the vehicle so that mundane tasks could be automated, freeing up employees for other jobs.
