DESCRIPTION
GAROO is a Medical-Robots from Doog. It is built for Medical-Assistance, Helping, Transport. Key figures: 52 kg, 100 kg payload.
GAROO is Doog's robotic wheelchair for airports, hospitals and other large facilities that move passengers or patients every day. It uses the same navigation technology as the THOUZER robotic cart in wheelchair form and works in Follow-Me mode: a LiDAR sensor tracks the target ahead within a 10 m radius, so GAROO follows a staff member with no map, floor markers or fixed route, and a person stays in charge of every journey. GAROO was developed together with an airport operator, where it is used for passenger mobility services, and is built for organisations rather than personal use. Several GAROOs can be lined up so that the first follows the staff member and each one behind follows the one ahead, letting one staff member lead up to three passengers per trip. It travels at up to 5 km/h, works in all wheelchair-accessible areas up to a 6-degree gradient and covers 10 to 15 km per charge. Safety features include a seat belt that must be fastened before it moves, passenger exit detection by LiDAR that stops it and sounds an alarm, a STOP button for the passenger, and a joystick at the back for staff to take direct control.
