Emancro’s mission is to “empower mankind through robotics

Why Hospitals?

Hospitals are ideal places to develop and deploy intelligent robotics.

  • The Extreme diversity of tasks necessitates developing general-purpose algorithms: Grasping items, opening doors, pulling boxes from shelves etc.

  • 24/7 operation creates favorable economics

  • Hospitals are structured in similar ways all across the globe, allowing rapid scaling of the technology

We’ll achieve this by...

  • Developing reusable, general-purpose Robotic Foundation AI Models

  • Building a versatile re-configurable multi-purpose robotic hardware platform (a number of components are already Patent Pending)

  • Optimizing the robot’s morphology to best suit the range of tasks, rather than imitating the human body

  • Focusing on a solvable yet challenging robotic manipulation problems that allow us to develop general-purpose robotic technology

Our story

Since we were founded in May 2022 Emancro's solutions have been evolving quickly while our mission remains the same: to Empower Mankind Through Robotics.

Debut at Pharmacy Trade Show
Dec 2022

We presented our robot prototype at the ASHP 2022 midyear clinical meeting in Las Vegas, receiving interest from more than 35 pharmacy directors.

Settling on Pharmacy Logistics
Sep 2022

In September 2022 Emancro eventually settled on automating pharmacy logistics in particular restocking medication cabinets, since hospitals have shown the an urgent need for this particular task and it is also comparably straight-forward to automate.

Founding
May 2022

Emancro was founded in May 2022 by Frederik Ebert after completing his PhD in Computer Science at UC Berkeley where he conducted research on robot learning from large-scale, diverse data, advised by Prof. Sergey Levine and Prof. Chelsea Finn.

Start of Product Development
Oct 2022

We started the development of the prototype of a medication cabinet restocking robot in October 2022. Initially the robot was picking medication blisters using a single suction finger.

Broad Market Research
May-Sep 2022

May-September 2022 Emancro performed extensive market research in the healthcare space, visiting dozens hospitals and talking to more than 50 healthcare staff of different positions exploring a number of distinct logistics tasks that can be automated using our robotic technology.
