DOT (Diligent- Observant Telepresence Robot)
DoT is a mobile humanoid robot currently in development, designed with versatility at its core. While its base functionality can serve a wide range of industries beyond just healthcare, DoT’s modular design allows for easy customization—enabling it to be tailored for specific applications and optimized for task-specific performance.
Summary
Pakistan’s healthcare system faces a critical shortage of doctors and nurses, leading to overburdened staff, reduced efficiency, and increased health risks—especially with limited PPE and high patient loads. Addressing this gap through traditional means requires massive capital and time investment. As a smarter, more scalable solution, TactonBiotic is developing DoT—a telepresence humanoid robot designed to support healthcare workers. DoT assists with tasks like delivering supplies, monitoring vitals, and enabling remote doctor-patient interactions. By integrating DoT into hospitals, we aim to enhance operational efficiency, ensure safer working conditions, and allow healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most—patient care.
Intended Use-Cases
DoT is a versatile mobile humanoid robot designed to serve across multiple industries beyond healthcare. Its base design allows for easy customization to suit specific tasks, such as autonomous logistics, customer interaction, and merchandising. In hospitals, DoT can transport medical supplies, reducing the burden on caregivers. In supermarkets, factories, or farms, it can assist with inventory movement. It can also engage with customers using natural language processing to provide directions or answer simple queries. In retail environments, DoT offers a unique, engaging experience that can enhance brand presence and increase customer dwell time, ultimately benefiting businesses.
Objectives Of DoT in Hospitals
Robotic Assistance in Healthcare:
DoT serves as a supplemental healthcare worker, supporting routine procedures, chronic patient monitoring, intelligent therapeutics, and social engagement for the elderly. It can provide information, answer basic questions, and connect patients with professionals via video link—extending care to remote areas and easing staff shortages.
Operational Efficiency:
DoT automates routine tasks, tracks inventory, and delivers supplies, reducing the physical burden on staff and ensuring smooth, consistent hospital operations.
Safe Work Environment:
By enabling remote monitoring and acting as a communication interface, DoT enhances workplace safety and protects healthcare workers from unnecessary exposure.
Economical Impact
Pakistan loses $7.6 billion annually due to a shortage of healthcare workers, affecting productivity and increasing healthcare costs. DoT offers a solution by enabling remote care and improving operational efficiency.
In retail, poor inventory management leads to nearly $1 trillion in global losses. DoT can help minimize these losses through smart inventory tracking and merchandising, offering both efficiency and customer engagement.
With over 20% of the world’s population in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, these similar markets provide a clear path for regional expansion.
Introducing DoT in Pakistan will be a disruptive step toward transforming the country from an agricultural to a tech-driven economy, redefining consumer behavior and opening new avenues for innovation.
