About

Tobias Greiler is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of service robotics and healthcare informatics, with a primary focus on developing autonomous systems for hospital environments. His most significant contribution is the design and implementation of **hospOS**, a groundbreaking platform for orchestrating service robots in clinical settings. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 3 citations, establishes a foundational framework for coordinating multiple robotic assistants—from delivery drones to disinfection units—within the complex, high-stakes ecosystem of a modern hospital. Greiler’s research is distinguished by its human-centered approach; his 2023 participant observation study at a hospital reception (1 citation) meticulously mapped the real-world information needs of patients and staff, directly informing the user interface and interaction protocols of hospOS. By bridging technical robotics engineering with ethnographic fieldwork, Greiler ensures his platforms are not only operationally efficient but also intuitively aligned with the workflows of healthcare professionals. His work promises to reduce staff burnout, streamline logistics, and ultimately improve patient care through seamless human-robot collaboration.
