Development of LIDAR-SLAM Integrated Low Cost Health Care Monitoring Robot with Sustainable Material

Abstract

Beyond the global pandemic, healthcare has faced a myriad of challenges, from rising costs and accessibility issues to the need for precision in patient care and efficient medication delivery. This project embodies a visionary response to the multifaceted challenges faced by healthcare systems in health centers located in rural areas. The proposed research work focused on design and development of a health care monitoring robot with integration of 3D LIDAR Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) based navigation approach, introduction of sustainable materials like bamboo and wood composites for development of robotic arm and robotic body frames. Also, from the initial tests it has been observed that with the developed mobile robot functions like precision medicine delivery, Open AI-Enabled continuous monitoring, hospital environment sanitization and emergency oxygen supply can be performed efficiently.
