Arrive AI launches two-year partnership with Ottonomy, Hancock Health

Arrive AI (ARAI) announced the hard launch of a two-year partnership with Ottonomy and Hancock Health. The collaboration is the first to deploy fully asynchronous robotic automation for medical deliveries inside a hospital, aiming to generate significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. Ottonomy’s “Ottobot” robots travel between Arrive Points to deliver items that would otherwise be transported by medical personnel. Arrive AI has installed Arrive Points throughout the hospital serving the Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Center and located near the laboratory and surgical center. Each is about one-eighth of a mile from nurses’ stations. When lab specimens are ready for transport, staff place them in the nearest Arrive Point. The unit signals an Ottobot, which retrieves the items and delivers them to the designated Arrive Point. Medical staff are alerted that a delivery is waiting, and items remain at the proper temperature until authorized staff retrieve them.
