Tug Making Moves at Canonsburg Hospital
Fifty times a day at Canonsburg General Hospital, Aethon's Tug robot is making rounds from the ER to the lab, hauling blood, urine and other specimens down the long hallways, stopping only occasionally for traffic jams or other obstructions. The robot ensures that ER nurses can spend more time with patients, not delivering specimens to the lab.
