Temi Scales Production with Foxconn for 30,000 US Nursing Homes

Foxconn Powers Temi Surge

Temi Global partners with manufacturing giant Foxconn to ramp up production of its versatile wheeled robots, targeting deployment across 30,000 nursing homes throughout the United States. This strategic collaboration, announced in early 2026, addresses surging demand for autonomous assistants in elder care facilities amid a national staffing shortage. By leveraging Foxconn's expertise in high-volume assembly, Temi aims to deliver thousands of units quarterly, transforming daily routines in senior living communities. The move disrupts traditional caregiving models, positioning Temi as a scalable solution for medication reminders, social check-ins, and navigation support.

AI Drives Seamless Interactions

Temi's core strength lies in its intuitive AI that enables natural human-robot conversations, setting it apart in crowded elder care environments. Residents simply speak commands, and the robot responds with video calls, entertainment, or vital sign relays to staff. Recent trials in Florida facilities during February 2026 demonstrated how its microphone array and voice recognition cut response times by 40 percent compared to stationary kiosks. This capability fosters companionship, reducing isolation for seniors while freeing nurses for critical tasks.

Navigation Redefines Indoor Mobility

Engineers at Temi have refined the ROBOX Navigation System, fusing SLAM technology with real-time 2D and 3D mapping for pinpoint accuracy down to 5 cm. In nursing home deployments tested last quarter, this system powered collision-free paths through cluttered hallways, outperforming legacy bots reliant on basic lidar. Ultrasonic sensors and cliff detectors ensure safe traversal over rugs and thresholds, while emergency stops prevent mishaps around residents or wheelchairs. Such advances make Temi reliable for 24/7 operations.

Elder Care Transformed Daily

Nursing homes deploying Temi report streamlined workflows, from guiding visitors to check-ins and delivering small medical packets. A pilot in California during January 2026 showed the robot handling 200 daily interactions, boosting staff efficiency by 25 percent. Beyond healthcare, it supports office navigation and home companionship via video links, adapting payloads for documents or interaction tools. This flexibility positions Temi as a multifaceted partner in aging-in-place strategies.

Specs Fuel Real-World Wins

Measuring 100 x 45 x 35 cm and weighing 12 kg (26 lbs), Temi glides at 1.0 m/s (3.6 km/h) via two 50W brushless DC direct-drive motors, enabling swift hallway patrols in facilities. Its 360-degree camera, microphone array, touch screen, ultrasonic sensors, IMU, and cliff detectors power obstacle avoidance and safe docking. The Linux-based OS with SDK supports custom apps, while up to 8-hour battery life sustains full shifts. These specs deliver precise deliveries and interactions without downtime.
