Meet Nurabot: NVIDIA’s Nursing Assistant Robot Rolls into Hospitals

A new kind of healthcare worker has arrived — and it rolls on wheels. Meet Nurabot, a nursing assistant robot powered by NVIDIA and built in partnership with Foxconn and other manufacturing giants. Unveiled just a month ago, Nurabot is already operating inside medical facilities such as Taichung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan, with dozens more set to deploy by year’s end.

Nurabot is designed to serve as a bridge between nurses and patients, handling repetitive and time-consuming tasks to relieve overburdened staff. From delivering items and answering patient questions to navigating hospital hallways with precision, this humanoid assistant helps streamline hospital operations — allowing human nurses to focus on critical care and emotional support.

The robot’s core intelligence runs on NVIDIA’s advanced AI and robotics platform, enabling real-time navigation, speech interaction, and task execution in dynamic clinical environments. Built atop Foxconn’s manufacturing expertise, Nurabot is compact, agile, and purposefully designed to blend seamlessly into healthcare workflows.

As global healthcare systems grapple with labor shortages and aging populations, Nurabot offers a timely and scalable solution. It’s not just a robot — it’s a first step toward AI-augmented caregiving, redefining how we think about support roles in modern medicine.
