“The NHS droids will move medical supplies, linen, food and waste around the £824m South Glasgow University Hospital when it opens on April 27. The robots – known as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) – will use a network of underground tunnels and a dedicated lift to navigate the 14-storey hospital. Jim Magee, who is in control of the 26 Swiss-built porter-bots, said they will be a ‘massive asset to the campus’. Facility Supervisor Billy MacDonald, who boasts 25 years’ experience with the NHS, said: “The AGVs will help make things run efficiently and smoothly. ‘Watching them go about their work is hugely impressive and they don’t ask for holidays of course.'”
