Core offering

EARTH TREK Robotics develops and sells the AI-MHOS line of autonomous transport robots (models C03-J and C03-J-3D) along with proprietary Smart Cabinets for use inside hospitals and other medical facilities. The robots autonomously navigate hospital corridors, elevators, and automatic doors to transport medications, injection solutions, sterilization bags, surgical instruments, specimens, meals, linens, and medical waste. The company also provides integration monitoring, maintenance, and staff training services around the robot fleet.

Product overview

EARTH TREK Robotics (株式会社アーストレック ロボティクス) is a smart hospital robotics startup transforming healthcare through AI and robotics. The core product line is the AI-MHOS autonomous transport robot system, available in two models: AI-MHOS C03-J (cabinet/wagon towing type, 200kg payload) and AI-MHOS C03-J-3D (integrated 3-tier cabinet with 3D sensors, ~590L capacity). These robots work alongside proprietary Smart Cabinets featuring face recognition and contactless card security. The system automates hospital logistics including medications, specimens, surgical instruments, and medical waste transport, with elevator and automatic door integration capabilities. The company reports over 300 deployments across major hospitals in China since 2019.

Emerging players

• Geek+: Geek+ is a major Chinese AMR vendor with growing presence in healthcare and warehouse logistics. Given Earthrek's China deployment heritage, Geek+ represents a relevant emerging competitor in the same category and origin market.
• Locus Robotics: Locus Robotics provides autonomous mobile robots primarily for warehouse order fulfillment, with emerging applicability to healthcare supply chain logistics. It represents an adjacent autonomous robotics peer with potential overlap in healthcare-adjacent material handling.

Direct peers

• Fetch Robotics: Fetch Robotics (now part of Zebra Technologies) develops autonomous mobile robots used in warehousing and healthcare logistics. It competes for the same hospital automation budgets and addresses comparable material transport workflows.
• Vecna Robotics: Vecna Robotics provides autonomous mobile robots for material handling in hospitals, warehouses, and factories. Its healthcare logistics solutions overlap directly with Earthrek's hospital transport use case.
• Aethon: Aethon's TUG robot is a pioneering autonomous mobile robot for hospital logistics, used for medication, laboratory, and supply delivery. It is a direct functional peer to Earthrek's AI-MHOS, addressing the same hospital material transport use case.
• Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR): MiR manufactures autonomous mobile robots widely deployed in healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing. While not healthcare-specialized, MiR competes for hospital logistics automation budgets that Earthrek also targets.
• Panasonic (HOSPI): Panasonic's HOSPI is a flagship autonomous transport robot used in Japanese hospitals for medication, meal, and document delivery. It is the most direct competitor to Earthrek's AI-MHOS in the Japanese market, with established hospital relationships and brand recognition.

Broad incumbents

• Omron (MD-650 / LD series): Omron is a major Japanese industrial automation incumbent offering autonomous mobile robots used across manufacturing, logistics, and increasingly healthcare. Its domestic presence and broad automation portfolio position it as a credible incumbent competitor in Japan.
• Swisslog Healthcare: Swisslog Healthcare provides hospital logistics automation including pneumatic tube systems and pharmacy/transport robots. It is a broad incumbent in the same healthcare automation category as Earthrek.
• Toyota Industries: Toyota Industries is a Japanese material handling and logistics automation incumbent with strong domestic relationships. While broader than healthcare, it is a credible competitor for hospital material transport automation decisions in Japan.
