Low-cost Robot for smart healthcare services in Hospital

Abstract

Nowadays AI, Robotics and Digital Technology have been implemented in hospitals and public places in relevance to social distancing, reducing one-to-one contact, enabling swift diagnosis, and sanitizing places during the COVID pandemic. As per its highly contagious nature of the coronavirus, various robots can deliver contact-free services in hospitals and public spaces as an alternative. Location-conscious computation includes the automatic customization of information and services that can be detected using low-cost robot. Robot can move through various areas as per the user's control. Low-cost robot can be used for the healthcare services of patients providing medicine and foods in the hospital and domestic purposes by rolling into treatment rooms, allowing health care workers to remotely measure parameters. In hospitals, the frontline workers, family members, and even receptionists can be remotely informed about patients in real-time. Specialized robots can handle additional works associated with a surge in patients, along with its regular activities. This robot may remotely transport infectious samples to laboratories for testing at specific distance. Current robot is controlled by a software application detecting the real-time need of the patients. Hence, the current robot could help the sustainable development concerned with clean and green technology. A route planning system-based programming that provides planning and implementation, initially preprocess, process, and then applied to physical robots as a post process and prototype, has been tested thus producing functional settings.
