Enchanted Tools: A heart for robots and hospitals

Nursing staff in hospitals spend a lot of time carrying and moving equipment and medication. Two robots are now to take over this task. This will leave more time for caring for the sick.

The Digitec and Galaxus editorial team will be reporting on site from IFA 2023 in Berlin. You can find all the news and background information published so far in our overview:

Monceaux's creations have one: The two models built so far are Miroka and Miroki, sister and brother, and they are so-called Mirokaï, who come from a distant planet where they have harmonised nature, magic and technology. Now they want to turn to us, the humans, to help us make everyday life easier and focus on the things that matter: finding each other.

But their planet is too far away for them to show up in person. So they project their consciousness millions of light years across the universe, where Enchanted Tools has built them a robot-like suit that allows them to manifest on Earth.

Smart everyday helpers with smart runes

"Nice, cute robots!", I say to my colleague Florian, who has stumbled across Miroki, the brother, while wandering through the exhibition halls with me, "but... what exactly do they do?"

At the start, Miroki and Miroka's tasks are simple, we are soon told. They are supposed to lift, move and transport things. Enchanted Tools has already entered into initial partnerships with large hospitals in France for this purpose.

"You have no idea how many kilometres nurses travel every day just to pick up things like medication or bring them to someone," a man with a French accent explains to us in English. The Mirokaï are supposed to do this, he continues. This leaves the carers more time for what is important: caring for their patients.

Further locations are also already planned. In hotels, for example. Restaurants. Airports. Or in shopping centres. Anywhere where people travel many kilometres a day for what are essentially simple transport routes.

Apropos: Miroka and Miroki got the comic look in collaboration with the French film studio Gaumont. If you're interested in their full story, including animated videos and charming concept art, click here.

I'm an outdoorsy guy and enjoy sports that push me to the limit – now that’s what I call comfort zone! But I'm also about curling up in an armchair with books about ugly intrigue and sinister kingkillers. Being an avid cinema-goer, I’ve been known to rave about film scores for hours on end. I’ve always wanted to say: «I am Groot.» more
