CommercialActive since 2018
Autonomous mobile service robot with a collaborative arm, voice interaction, autonomous navigation, and an integrated display. It includes ChatGPT integration.
About
Lio is an autonomous mobile service robot developed by F&P Robotics in Switzerland. It combines a mobile base, a collaborative arm, voice interaction, autonomous navigation, and an integrated display for service-oriented tasks in care and public-facing environments. F&P Robotics introduced Lio as a platform for practical assistance rather than a humanoid form factor, with an emphasis on interaction and routine support.
The robot was shown publicly in the late 2010s and then continued to evolve through software and application updates. Later versions added more conversational capabilities, including ChatGPT-based interaction, alongside its existing navigation and service functions. Lio remained positioned as a mobile assistant for structured environments rather than a general-purpose robot, with development focused on deployment in real facilities and incremental feature expansion.
