Show a robot moving between hospital floors without a vendor API
A call for working approaches to the elevator problem that blocks hospital robot pilots.
Nothing pending. Add a question, a piece of evidence or derive from it.
We are looking for working approaches, not slides: a robot that calls an elevator, boards it and leaves on the right floor without an integration contract with the elevator vendor. Retrofits, relays, computer vision, human-in-the-loop hand-offs: everything is welcome as long as it is documented and repeatable.
Robots cannot move between floors without an elevator integration the vendors will not sign.
A documented, repeatable procedure with a video and a bill of materials.
Safety, repeatability, cost under BRL 15,000, no structural retrofit.
