Building the agent for care and domestic robots.
Patricia is designed to talk naturally, remember ongoing activities and follow defined procedures through a mobile robot, phone or web. Patricia Town is the simulation used to test the software before physical deployment.

Purpose
Help people at home and in care settings.
Patricia is intended to support routine tasks, communication and physical assistance while keeping people in control.
Act through the right interface
Use a robot, phone, web page or simulation without rebuilding the agent each time.
Hand over clearly
Stop and involve a person when the task is unsafe, uncertain or outside scope.
Primary customers
Who Patricia is being built for.
Define one repeated, non-clinical task and test whether Patricia helps residents and staff.
Use a familiar interface for routines, connection, remote presence and practical assistance.
Support Australian embodied-AI capability, evidence and responsible commercialisation.
Build the simulation, agent, evaluation and hardware integrations.
System
One agent. Several embodiments.
Use cases
Start with bounded work.
| Customer | First useful tasks | What must be proven |
|---|---|---|
| Supported living and aged care | Routine follow-through, staff contact, telepresence, orientation, small-item delivery | Usefulness, safety, privacy and staff acceptance |
| Domestic homes | Reminders, family connection, fetching, carrying and household routines | Reliability, setup, support and value over time |
| Hospitals, hotels and buildings | Reception, guidance, internal delivery and remote assistance | Navigation, uptime and workflow integration |
| Enterprise phone or web | Structured service, case follow-through and human escalation | Security, auditability and a customer-funded integration |
Current program
Test in simulation. Prove on robots. Validate with customers.
