Lio
F&P Robotics Lio is a mobile care and assistance robot manufactured by Swiss company F&P Robotics. It combines a wheeled mobile base with a P-Rob seven-axis robotic arm, enabling it to fetch and deliver objects, open doors, and assist care staff in hospital and assisted-living environments. Lio has been deployed at clinical sites in Switzerland and Germany.
Current platform
P-Rob
F&P Robotics P-Rob is a seven-axis collaborative robot arm manufactured by the Swiss company F&P Robotics in Glattbrugg, Zurich. The robot features integrated force-torque sensing at each joint and is designed for safe close human-robot collaboration in research, healthcare, and food service environments. P-Rob supports a range of interchangeable end-effectors and is programmed through a graphical interface without requiring specialist robotics knowledge.
