Foxconn pours $30 Millions into RoboTemi

8 September, 2025

The Taiwanese giant’s investment will boost production in Taiwan and back RoboTemi’s rapid expansion into U.S. nursing homes, alongside a 600-unit government contract in Spain

Israeli robotics company RoboTemi expects to increase its revenue fivefold by 2028 following a strategic $30 million investment from Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn. The funds will be used to expand manufacturing in Taiwan and accelerate penetration of the U.S. telemedicine market, with a particular focus on nursing homes.

According to co-founder Yaron Yoels, “In the U.S., a significant market for remote healthcare has opened up. There are about 30,000 nursing homes, and elderly residents don’t always have access to a doctor on site. Our robot enables smooth and convenient video consultations, and insurers reimburse the service because every video call saves an in-person visit.”

During consultations, the Temi robot autonomously navigates to the patient’s bedside carrying medical instruments — including a stethoscope, blood pressure monitor, ECG device and diagnostic cameras — while displaying the physician live on screen. Eighty percent of medical visits in nursing homes can be resolved this way, from skin conditions and wounds to psychological counseling,” Yoels noted.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. government insurance programs Medicare and Medicaid have incentivized telemedicine, rewarding facilities for every virtual visit that replaces an in-person appointment. This has created a strong incentive for nursing homes to adopt robots. In some cases the service is provided free, under a revenue-sharing model, as facilities are reimbursed for each remote consultation. “We’ve decided to scale up — to tens of thousands of units within the next two years,” Yoels added. To achieve that, most production is concentrated in Taiwan with Foxconn, which is now shipping hundreds of robots each month.

The Temi robot itself is a mobile smart platform designed for telemedicine and remote interactions. It features an autonomous navigation system with LiDAR sensors, depth cameras and Time-of-Flight sensors, enabling it to move accurately to a patient’s bedside and avoid obstacles. A 13.3-inch FHD touchscreen, combined with high-quality speakers and microphone arrays, allows for natural communication by voice, gesture or touch. Temi can carry medical equipment, operate continuously for up to eight hours on a rechargeable battery, and travel at speeds of up to one meter per second with zero-turn capability. This combination of mapping, communication and medical instrumentation delivers a complete and reliable telehealth experience.

Beyond the U.S., RoboTemi has also secured a major European contract: supplying 600 robots for Spain’s national home-hospitalization program. The company currently operates as part of Robocore, incorporated in Hong Kong with operations spanning China, Singapore and Israel, and aims to leverage the Foxconn partnership to establish itself as a leading global player in healthcare robotics.
