Field notes
The site lays out a dispatch workflow in which a ride request goes to the chair expected to arrive soonest. It describes a fleet-wide obstacle report, plus a safety sequence that slows and stops around nearby people. Six playable demonstrations are listed, including a robot that lifts a standard wheelchair and a simulated corridor with rooms and a dining hall. Its staffing and waiting-time figures are estimates for an example facility, not reported deployment results.
