Fully Asynchronous, Autonomous Medical Deliveries Underway at Hancock Regional Hospital
Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI) announced a two-year partnership with Ottonomy and Hancock Health on October 28, 2025 to deploy the world's first fully asynchronous robotic deliveries inside a hospital.
The rollout installs Arrive Points across the Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Center, lab and surgical center; Ottobot robots retrieve and deliver specimens to secure receptacles at proper temperatures until staff pickup. A medical assistant reported cutting roughly at least half of her 90+ minutes/day specimen-walking time. Hancock Health said expansion across its >30 locations is likely, and Arrive AI plans to scale integration with ground robotics, couriers and drones.
Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI) ha annunciato una partnership di due anni con Ottonomy e Hancock Health il 28 ottobre 2025 per implementare i primi servizi di consegna robotica completamente asincroni al mondo all'interno di un ospedale.
Il rollout installa Arrive Points presso il Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Center, laboratori e centro chirurgico; i robot Ottobot recuperano e consegnano campioni a contenitori sicuri a temperature adeguate finché lo staff non li ritira. Un assistente medico ha riferito di tagliare circa almeno la metà della sua più di 90 minuti al giorno dedicata alla camminata per i campioni. Hancock Health ha detto che l'espansione in oltre 30 sedi è probabile, e Arrive AI intende scalare l'integrazione con la robotica terrestre, i corrieri e i droni.

Insights
Partnership launches first fully asynchronous robotic medical deliveries inside a hospital; operational efficiency gains likely if rollout scales.
Arrive AI and Ottonomy deployed integrated smart receptacles (Arrive Points™) and Ottobot robots at Hancock Health, beginning a
The business mechanism is straightforward: Arrive Points act as secure, temperature‑controlled buffers that decouple robot arrival from human availability, enabling robots to operate continuously while staff retrieve items asynchronously. This reduces labor time spent on intra‑facility transport and creates a measurable chain‑of‑custody record tied to each delivery.
Dependencies and risks include operational acceptance, the accuracy of temperature and chain‑of‑custody controls, and the breadth of clinical workflows that can adapt to asynchronous pickups. Expansion across Hancock’s >30 locations hinges on demonstrated reliability and clear metrics showing net time or cost savings rather than only convenience. Regulatory compliance is stated as a priority, but the announcement does not list specific approvals or validations.
Concrete items to watch over the
Arrive AI and Ottonomy Inc. offer world's first smart, secure storage units in healthcare, enabling robotic deliveries to be kept safe until human staff has time for them
GREENFIELD, INDIANA / ACCESS Newswire / October 28, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an Indiana-based pioneer in autonomous delivery networks anchored by patented AI-powered smart receptacles called Arrive Points™, today announced the hard launch of a two-year partnership with Ottonomy Inc., a California-based leader in robotic delivery, and Hancock Health, a regional healthcare system and member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network. The collaboration is the first to deploy fully asynchronous robotic automation for medical deliveries inside a hospital, aiming to generate significant cost savings and operational efficiencies.
"Some hospitals, including a few in Indiana, already use robots for repetitive tasks, but those still require human interaction when the robots reach their destinations," said Arrive AI CEO Dan O'Toole. "Ours is the first to provide a universal access point where biospecimens can be securely housed until busy healthcare professionals are ready for them. At scale, our platform will generate data insights that drive even greater innovation."
Ottonomy's "Ottobot" robots travel between Arrive Points to deliver items that would otherwise be transported by medical personnel.
"Hospitals are huge places. Medical professionals, who would rather be delivering direct patient care, walk thousands of steps a day moving biospecimens and other items," said Ottonomy CEO Ritukar Vijay. "The combination of Arrive Points and Ottobot robots offers enormous value."
Arrive AI has installed Arrive Points throughout the hospital serving the Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Center and located near the laboratory and surgical center. Each is about one-eighth of a mile from nurses' stations. When lab specimens are ready for transport, staff place them in the nearest Arrive Point. The unit signals an Ottobot, which retrieves the items and delivers them to the designated Arrive Point. Medical staff are alerted that a delivery is waiting, and items remain at the proper temperature until authorized staff retrieve them.
"The asynchronous pickup and delivery with secure chain-of-custody is a huge boost to clinicians' valuable time," Vijay added. "This is the world's first unattended pickup and drop-off by robots in healthcare. It's game changing."
Steve Long, president and CEO of Hancock Health, said his team is always looking for ways to improve efficiencies and found the Arrive AI solution especially compelling.
"Patient care is our top priority and introducing Arrive AI into our facility helps ensure our providers can maximize one-on-one time with their patients," said Long. "Whether through the latest surgical innovations or robotics, Hancock Health is committed to staying at the forefront of healthcare technology to provide the best care for East Central Indiana."
Clara Quakenbush, a medical assistant at the Cancer Center, said she often spends at least 90 minutes a day walking specimens between the Cancer Center and hospital lab. She makes an estimated 10 to 15 such trips daily. Using the Arrive Points and Ottobot system cuts that time away from patients at least in half, she said.
"Every minute spent delivering samples is a minute not spent with patients," Quakenbush said. "Having the robots handle those deliveries is going to save us so much time."
Long noted that performance indicators make it likely Hancock Health will expand the technology across its broader network of more than 30 locations in East Central Indiana.
The multi-phase rollout with Arrive AI and Ottonomy is designed to showcase how asynchronous automation can transform healthcare operations.
Arrive AI plans to leverage insights from Hancock Health to build a scalable framework integrating ground robotics, courier networks, and drones across its entire system. The company will lead design, deployment and optimization of this integrated network while ensuring regulatory compliance, operational feasibility and validated return on investment.
