One of the most promising initiatives is the development of a washing robot for the elderly. This robot is intended to support daily personal care, such as washing, and responds to the growing demand for care and the shortage of care staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is being led by Mijzo, in collaboration with partners such as High Tech Alliance, TNO, and Tante Louise. Breda Robotics is actively contributing to the design, communication, and community building.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Logo-OPZuid.png\" alt=\"Logo OP Zuid\" class=\"wp-image-267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Logo-OPZuid.png 700w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Logo-OPZuid-300x127.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group twee paddingtopbottom3 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Afbeelding-wasbot-1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4623\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<article class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\"><strong>What has been realised?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\">A concept has been developed for a mobile care robot with an integrated Autonomy Engine. This engine includes vision sensor technology, AI for semantic perception, dynamic world modelling and behaviour prediction. The robot can navigate autonomously and perform tasks, such as docking with a hospital trolley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, a design session was organised on 30 May at Breda Robotics, where partners collaborated on the design and functional specifications of the washing robot. A virtual reality demonstration and a 3D-printed scale model are also being prepared.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group twee paddingtopbottom3 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<article class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What will still be developed in the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next phase will focus on testing the laundry robot in a care environment, refining the user interface, and integrating the robot into existing care processes. Work is underway on an API and GUI that connect to hospital management systems, and on an evaluation report that maps out the impact on self-sufficiency and workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ZorgBOTS project also focuses on building a strong community of healthcare professionals, developers, and researchers, enabling knowledge sharing and upscaling.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Logo-BredaRobotics-zwart.jpg\" alt=\"Breda Robotics logo\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group twee paddingtopbottom3 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Logo-BredaRobotics-zwart.jpg\" alt=\"Breda Robotics logo\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<article class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\"><strong>About ZorgBOTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\">ZorgBOTS is a Stimulus\/ OPZuid project that utilises robotics and AI to make healthcare future-proof.
