Social Interaction & Service Robot for Hospital Wards

ABSTRACT

As the era of industrial revolution 5.0 has begun, most of the robots are developed to have cyber inter-physical functionalities which are deemed to replace human activities. However, robots are rarely being utilized in the health care sector. In a medical institution, countless activities and events are happening simultaneously. Most of these are very precise, lifesaving and are on a time constraint. Heavy machinery and equipment are required to execute such events which is time-consuming and inconvenient. The robot specified helps with regular processes occurring on a day-to-day basis in the institution such as taking vitals and sanitization as well as transporting products on the go intelligently and safely. This robot is good at mapping rooms using the internal GPS, the robot can effectively communicate and output simple messages with the patients via, a display screen. Human intervention plays a vital role in preventing the health care workers from coming in contact with the covid-19. © 2022 IEEE.
