Moxi 2.0 starts shipping — and the spec sheet names an NVIDIA chip five years older than the launch page

Diligent Robotics, a Serve Robotics company, announced on 17 August 2026 that Moxi 2.0 — the second generation of the most widely deployed hospital delivery robot in the United States — is now rolling out to health systems, naming Endeavor Health Edward Hospital, Providence Saint John's Health Center and Children's Hospital Los Angeles as the first sites. The release finally puts numbers on hardware that the October 2025 announcement described only in adjectives. Moxi 2.0 runs "up to 9 hours at a time" on a charge, charges 30% faster than its predecessor, and the company claims "up to 18 hours of operating time per day". Those three figures fit together exactly: two full 9-hour shifts leave six hours in the day for two recharges, roughly three hours each — which puts the first generation at about four and a quarter hours to fill the same battery. Perception is stated at "10–15 times faster than the previous generation", the world model was trained on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, and the perception stack borrows "aspects of the NVIDIA Cosmos open world models such as the 3D lidar tokenizer" — the first confirmation from the maker that the robot carries lidar at all. One line does not match the company's own product page. The shipping release credits "upgraded NVIDIA-powered A2000 compute", while the Moxi 2.0 launch page still says the robot is "powered by NVIDIA Thor" and specifically names IGX Thor, "an NVIDIA Blackwell-powered, industrial-grade" platform. These are not the same silicon: the RTX A2000 is an Ampere-generation professional card launched in August 2021, five years and three architecture generations behind Blackwell. Both claims are live on the company's channels on the day the robot begins shipping, and Diligent has not reconciled them. The "10x the compute of Moxi 1.0" figure is repeated in both, so the multiplier is not in dispute — the part number is. The deployment figures are more solid, because one customer counted them. Children's Hospital Los Angeles reports that its Moxi has completed "more than 40,000 deliveries, representing over 16,000 hours of work", and grew its fleet from two robots to three; utilisation rose more than 10% in the second quarter. Divide those two numbers and the robot finishes a delivery every 24 minutes it is on shift — a useful benchmark for anyone comparing hospital logistics platforms, and a rate no competitor in this niche has published against real hours. This catalogue records the runtime, charging and lidar figures from the shipping release, and notes the compute discrepancy in the Moxi 2.0 profile rather than picking a side.
