Ubitus, a global leader in cloud streaming and AI solutions, announced its collaboration with MacKay Memorial Hospital to unveil AI-powered multi-modal medical robots at NVIDIA GTC Taiwan 2025. The presentation, “AI-Enabled Healthcare: Multi-Modal Robot Collaboration Inspired by MacKay’s Case Study,” will highlight how NVIDIA technologies— NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA Isaac GR00T, NVIDIA ACE, and NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin—are transforming smart healthcare through automation, improved patient care, and enhanced efficiency.

Three AI-Driven Medical Robots Redefining Healthcare Operations

As part of the collaboration, Ubitus and MacKay Memorial Hospital have co-developed three intelligent robots designed for various medical applications, combining NVIDIA’s cutting-edge technologies with proprietary AI models:

• AMR Robot: Equipped with a virtual assistant, this robot provides patient navigation, interactive companionship, and registration assistance, offering a more seamless and personalized patient journey.
• Humanoid Robot: Built on NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1, the humanoid robot features advanced dual-arm manipulation, enabling autonomous specimen transport and material handling in unmanned settings to boost logistics efficiency.
• Quadruped Robot: Built on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and integrating NVIDIA Isaac GR00T ReMemBr and NVIDIA Isaac GR00T X-mobility technologies, this robot navigates high-risk, hard-to-reach areas to perform environmental monitoring— including gas detection, thermal sensing, and water leakage detection— transmitting real-time data to reduce healthcare risks.

Each robot uses the NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with the Llama 4 large language model and NVIDIA Riva to enable natural, multilingual interactions. The virtual assistant uses NVIDIA ACE digital human technologies to enhance patient engagement with customizable avatars, offering emotional support, health education, and companionship for a more empathetic care experience.

Virtual-Physical Integration Speeds Deployment

The project utilized NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Isaac Sim to simulate hospital environments, enabling virtual testing, collaboration, and task training prior to deployment. This virtual-physical integration minimized pre-deployment risks and costs while significantly shortening deployment timelines and optimizing operational workflows.

“We are honored to partner with MacKay Memorial Hospital to pioneer multi-modal medical robot collaboration powered by NVIDIA’s comprehensive healthcare AI technologies, assisting MacKay in becoming the first smart hospital in Taiwan to adopt NVIDIA B200,” said Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus. “This collaboration demonstrates the real-world impact of AI in healthcare and reinforces our commitment to driving innovation in smart healthcare solutions.”

Advancing AI in Diverse Healthcare Settings

Ubitus plans to deepen its collaboration with MacKay Memorial Hospital and NVIDIA, expanding AI and multi-modal robotics across emergency, inpatient, rehabilitation, and long-term care settings. The goal is to deliver flexible, scalable smart healthcare solutions that seamlessly integrate AI into clinical workflows, enhancing care quality and efficiency.

“We are proud to collaborate with Ubitus in bringing AI and robotics into our hospital,” said President of MacKay Memorial Hospital. “This partnership not only enhances patient service quality but also optimizes internal workflows and safety management.”

Hospital staff praised the AI-powered robots for their practical impact on patient navigation, medical logistics, and safety inspections, citing reduced workload and improved clinical efficiency.
