Key Points

This work investigates the causal relationship between the architecture of autonomous mobile robots and their clinical performance in hospital logistics.
Literature synthesis from 2015-2025 using PRISMA protocol
Qualitative synthesis addressing data heterogeneity
Structuring robot systems along navigation, task, and kinematics axes.
Identified a paradox of 'high intelligence, low integration' in clinical environments
Highlighted architectural trade-offs between driving kinematics and load safety
Found that highly autonomous robots remain disconnected as 'digital islands' due to insufficient integration with Health Information Systems.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.

This review examines the integration challenges of autonomous robots in hospital logistics, suggesting implications for operational safety.
