Practical articles for decision-makers: vendor-neutral control, on-premise and offline, KRITIS and NIS-2.
Service robot manufacturers want into the European healthcare market; demand is there and the hardware is good. What stalls deployment sits structurally outside the device: in the operating model and at the points where robots / building systems / IT meet. Two questions decide, and the answers differ depending on whether you run a facility or integrate projects.

Service robots are arriving in growing numbers in European hospitals, built on a concentrated global manufacturing base. The open question is not whether they arrive, but how their data and remote access are controlled, regardless of manufacturer. Why sovereignty is decided at the application layer.

Service robots are meant to relieve nurses – but by how much, exactly? Our study in two rural hospitals puts real numbers on the time savings for the first time.

Voice control is what makes service robots truly practical in a hospital – and it raises thorny data-protection questions. Together with data-protection law expert Prof. Benedikt Buchner, we examined when such use is lawful.

Why do so many robot projects in hospitals fail? Rarely on the hardware – almost always on integration. This paper describes the architecture with which hospOS solves exactly that problem.

Before you can deploy robots sensibly, you need to know what is actually being transported. We counted it for a week – in two rural hospitals, with surprisingly clear results.

A robot at the hospital reception – nice gimmick or real relief? We measured it for a week in live operation.

To build a robot for the hospital reception, you first have to understand what is actually being asked there. So we listened and counted for a week.

When networked robots enter regulated environments, they become part of your security and reporting obligations. What KRITIS and NIS-2 mean in practice, and which architecture decisions matter now.

Many robot solutions send operational data to the vendor's cloud. In sensitive environments that is a problem. Here is how to run service robotics on-premise and offline, without data leaving your premises.

Wiring robots directly into doors, elevators, and IT quickly locks you in. A neutral control layer lets you change models and vendors without swapping out the system every time.
