Diligent Robotics, known for its humanoid robot Moxi that supports hospitals by handling tasks like delivering supplies and lab samples, is gearing up to broaden its focus beyond healthcare logistics. On Thursday, the company announced the addition of two senior executives from Cruise, the autonomous robotaxi firm, signaling a strategic push into wider commercial markets.

Rashed Haq, formerly head of AI and robotics at Cruise, has joined Diligent as chief technology officer. He will lead the development of the company’s AI strategy, leveraging his experience in deploying large-scale autonomous systems. Todd Brugger, Cruise’s former chief of operations, steps in as Diligent’s chief operations officer, where he will be responsible for scaling the company’s operations and commercial growth across various industries.

Andrea Thomaz, CEO of Diligent Robotics, highlighted the value of their expertise, stating that Haq and Brugger’s backgrounds in autonomous vehicle technology are vital as the company expands its robotic solutions beyond hospitals.

Since its launch, Moxi has completed over one million deliveries in more than 30 hospitals across the United States, saving nearly 600,000 staff hours. Looking ahead, Diligent plans to be a leader in embodied AI, targeting the deployment of more than 3,000 robots by 2030.
