R1T1 Robot from Project Company
According to the social perception survey conducted among people nearby the Prof. Antonio Henrique Dianin, he can be described in three main features: a lovely person, a leader, and a genius. Dianin is one of the world's leading innovators, and the MIT Technology Review recognizes him as one of the people with the greatest potential to change the world.
Mr. Dianin is passionate about technology, founder of the Project Company and R1T1 developer: The better worldwide robot for the healthcare area and the first telepresence robot from Latin America. He has 10 different titles, holds several patents, having studied at the best universities in the world and dedicated his career to the development of people as a serial entrepreneur. His professional experience (17 years) as a business executive includes projects in a wide area of knowledge. Dianin is also a professor, public speaker, and coach, speaking 5 different languages.
The R1T1 is considered the best robot worldwide for application in the health area. Having a wide range of applications in the hospital sector and being specially designed to provide the feeling of a human presence in a remote place, the R1T1 goes far beyond the conventional.
Together with its artificial intelligence system, the R1T1 is able to integrate with the most hospital equipment, hospital systems, electronic medical records and even the entire area of imaging exams.
Just by stopping in front of R1T1, he is able to identify your temperature, heart and respiratory rate, while detecting the most varied emotions of yours.
Hospital infection control did not go unnoticed either, ambient disinfection lights are attached to the R1T1. It also has a special water-repellent and anti-microorganisms paint.
The use of R1T1 as the first care provider in hospitals today can make a life difference for many patients.
The problem we are trying to solve is the necessity of delivering health care assistance in front of the high contagious factor of the COVID-19
pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 people worldwide.
With 12 different divisions, the Project Company (www.projectcompany.org) has a variety of projects. The R1T1 robot is the most noticeable between them. The R1T1 has been used in almost all departments of a hospital but
for this application in specific, we are focus on his activity of providing first care
assistance for patients with the suspect of been contract COVID-19.
Today we are running a pilot test in hospitals in Brazil, but that project has the potential to be expanded globally.
The R1T1 robot is tasked with detecting people affected by COVID-19, treating patients and protecting hospital staff.
The robot can detect the temperature of a suspected case, supervise the evolution of symptoms and allow healthcare professionals and patients to make contact directly from the robot. It’s also able to bring food and medicine to patients, besides of disinfecting the sick rooms. The aim is to avoid direct contact between patients and nurses and doctors as much as possible.
- Elevating issues and their projects by building awareness and driving action to solve the most difficult problems of our world
Our solution is well-aligned with the three dimensions of The Elevate Prize. Since the beginning of the Project Company we are being leaders, innovators, and risk-takers who are impacting positively our community. Our work have the potential to elevate humanity and inspire others to act as engines for social good.
This solution is a direct response to the COVID-19 disease outbreak.
From the beginning, we believe in providing everyone with the best health care experience possible. Few companies are able to build robots with artificial intelligence, but what will make us different is not what we do, but why we do it. People don't buy ‘what’ you do, they buy ‘why’ are you doing what you do. This is perhaps the essence of our sparkle in our eyes.

I think our own history of being a highly innovative technology company in a sub developed country with all the challenges that it’s present is already an example of perseverance.
Another good example of our ability to persevere and transform obstacles into opportunities is this own project, that was created as a direct response to the COVID-19 crisis. Before, some of our robots were used in marketing and corporate events, none of those will happen for a while, so we reallocate them to work on the hospitals as first care providers. Now we are working with full capacity.
Additionally, we also made our conference system free for everybody to use during this crisis, start to 3D print valves for respirators, and we are creating one inexpensive model of respirator that can be mass-produced in our R&D facility.
We think that everyone has dreamed of a world in which robots lived side by side with human beings. A world where reality finally meets science fiction. At Project Robot, creating this world is our challenge.
We at Project Robot believe that robots are about people. In everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. That is why we founded Project Robot, a subdivision of Project Company with the mission of being a beacon of light to the world through the use of robotic technology and innovation.
Today, we are proud to say that the R1T1 was the first telepresence robot from Latin America and it is considered the best worldwide robot in the health area, where it has been working effectively for 7 years now. One day, you will probably be served by one.
- Hybrid of for-profit and nonprofit
This project in specific is being managed by Project Robot. Project Robot is one subdivision of the Project Company.
Today, the R1T1 is able to integrate with the most hospital equipment: microscopes, stethoscopes, skin cameras... It is also able to integrate with hospital systems, electronic medical records and even the entire area of imaging exams.
In addition, just by stopping in front of R1T1, he is able to identify your temperature, heart and respiratory rate while detecting the most varied emotions of yours.
Hospital infection control did not go unnoticed either, ambient disinfection lights are attached to the R1T1. It also has a special water-repellent and antibacterial paint (our own development), which prevents the accumulation of microorganisms, facilitates its cleaning and makes it waterproof.
Furthermore, we believe in playing an active role in reducing the social distance of people with disabilities. Ideal for recovering patients in the ICU, with Rett Syndrome or sclerosis, R1T1 has a complete solution for interacting with it exclusively with just the use of the eyes.

Since its creation, the Project Company has steadily grown its revenue and has launched at least one new project each year, with a national presence throughout Brazil.
For this project in specific, the business model is to lease the robots for the hospitals.
The estimates are that with the deployment of 10 robots we can achieve our point of equilibrium.
In this specific project we didn’t raise funds or generate revenue yet.
For this project, we are seeking to raise 5 million dollars in equity return.
This project in one spin-off of a large project controlled by Project Company in response to the urgent need for solutions to fight against the outbreak of the covid-19. They are paying for all our expenses for this entire year.
We believe in work together, create new opportunities and realize our full potential through partnerships. We believe that The Elevate Prize is well-aligned with our partnership goals and we hope to become part of that community.
In the financial aspect, we sick some help to raise funds to scale the project while for the cultural aspect we look for partners to work closely together and that can somehow aggregate to the whole business.
