Most robotics companies started with hardware. Diligent started with people. Before Moxi The Robot ever entered a hospital, our co-founder and CEO Andrea Thomaz spent years in human-robot interaction research. She studied not what robots can do, but what makes human teams actually accept them. Andrea goes deep on this in a new interview, "The Robot Teammate: How AI Is Changing Healthcare" with the Fred Hutch worth the watch linked here https://lnkd.in/esUUUhMG
About us
We are a human-centered robotics company. Our mission is to make technical advances towards robots and humans working together side by side, with an emphasis on human-centric design. Diligent Robotics is developing a suite of artificial intelligence that enables robots to collaborate with and adapt to humans in everyday environments. Our service robots are designed to participate and work together with teams of humans. Our first product is a hospital service robot that can assist clinical staff with logistical tasks, allowing them to spend more of their time on direct patient care, improving patient satisfaction, quality of service, and safety.

Moxi doesn't make small talk in elevators. Honestly? A feature.🫶 Moxi rides hospital elevators dozens of times a shift. Waiting its turn, yielding to patients and coworkers, and exiting gracefully. Sharing tight human spaces is one of the harder problems in physical AI. Moxi's already got the manners for it. 💫 What rule would you add? #PhysicalAI #HealthcareRobotics #MoxiOnTheMove #DiligentRobotics

High fives, hugs, and heart eyes: the BBC highlights hospitals where Moxi The Robot isn't just delivering meds and lab samples, it's part of the team. 🤖💜 Read the full feature here: https://lnkd.in/eg2nTcxR #ai #robotics #theedge #physicalai

Moxi, you nailed it. 🇺🇸
In 1776, they signed the Declaration of Independence. In 2026, a robot put on its best Red, White & Blue and rolled through Cedars-Sinai's hospital halls to celebrate it. Progress may look different than they imagined, but I'd like to think Ben Franklin would've been into it. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸

Great summary from AWS about their recent LifeSciences Symposium! During the event, our CEO Andrea L. Thomaz Thomaz made the case for why real-world data is critical in clinical robotics AI. Because hospital environments are almost impossible to simulate, every Moxi deployment makes the next one smarter. The proof is already on the floor: 1.2M tasks completed and 500,000 clinician hours handed back to care teams. Full recap from AWS 👇 Proud to have shared the MedTech stage at the 2026 AWS for Healthcare & Life Sciences Symposium, alongside Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Medtronic, DocSpera and Amazon Web Services (AWS). https://lnkd.in/eSaqG3wV

One thing we talk about a lot at Diligent is how there's a patient at the end of every delivery we're trusted with. At Edward Hospital, Moxi has completed more than 40,000 deliveries, which shows how much the team trusts it with medications and critical workflows. We've noticed Moxi's arc with our partners tends to follow a pattern: reliability, badge access, secure medication handling. It starts as "Let's try this" and quickly becomes "I can't imagine my shift without it." The best part is that every delivery represents time a clinician stayed with a patient instead of walking to get supplies, medications or labs. Congratulations to the team at Edward Hospital and Endeavor Health. Here's to what's next. 🎉

New coworkers, who dis? 🐾 Moxi The Robot recently spent some time at Edward Hospital getting to know the resident service and emotional support dogs. The verdict after many nose sniffs and wagging tails: Moxi passed the vibe check. Honored to share these hallways with such good dogs. #ServiceDogs #MoxiOnTheMove #DiligentRobotics #PhysicalAI #EdgeComputing

Great point from our CEO, Andrea L. Thomaz.
Anyone can automate a task. The breakthrough is a robot the team treats as a teammate, not a tool. Hospitals are messy, dynamic, human places, which is exactly why the hardest problem in healthcare robotics was never autonomy. It's the people. A robot can navigate a corridor, open a drawer, and complete a delivery flawlessly and still fail. If people don't trust it. If it interrupts more than it helps. If it's one more thing to manage on a shift that's already busy. At Diligent Robotics, not only have we gotten good at building machines that can perform tasks near people. The harder, more valuable thing is building one that can work with them. It's why we designed Moxi around people first: how it hands off a task, how it waits, how it signals what it's doing, how it earns a place on the floor instead of demanding one. When a nurse says "thanks, Moxi" at the end of a shift, that isn't a nice-to-have. That's the entire thing working. Hospitals don't just need autonomous machines. They need autonomous teammates. And that's why we build….to give time back to the people taking care of all of us. 🙌 #PhysicalAI #EmbodiedAI #HumanRobotInteraction #HealthcareAI #FutureOfWork #TeamMoxi

A new teammate just clocked in at Odessa Regional Medical Center. 🤖 Moxi The Robot handles the time-consuming tasks, including transporting supplies, meds, and lab samples. These deliveries give clinical teams back hours every shift to focus on patients, not logistics. 💙 A big thank you to the Odessa team for welcoming Moxi so warmly into their workflows. 🫶 Smarter support. More time for care. Welcome to Odessa, Moxi. #Moxi #DiligentRobotics #HealthcareInnovation #MoxiOnTheMove

Do humanoid robots really need legs? Bloomberg News's Samantha Murphy Kelly visited Providence Saint John's Health Center to find out how Moxi The Robot does what it does every day: deliver lab samples, medications, and supplies, dozens of times a day, alongside clinical teams. Our co-founder and CEO, Andrea L. Thomaz, puts it simply: Wheels are safer. A robot on wheels can stop without having to balance. Hospitals are already built for wheeled mobility. And in an environment where reliability isn't optional, that design choice matters. Today, our Moxi robot is deployed across 25+ health systems nationwide, not as a prototype or a pilot, but as part of the daily workflow. "Wheels vs. legs" is one of the defining design debates in robotics right now. Bloomberg's full piece is worth your time, linked below. https://lnkd.in/eJx5Xtpe
