Automated Robotic System for Assistance of Isolated Patients of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

摘要

The end of 2019 and the start of 2020 remained the time of the world's largest medical emergency due to Coronavirus disease known as COVID-19, outbreak in all over the world. We designed an automated robotic assistance system for the patients who are kept in quarantine. In the proposed system, doctors can remotely monitor the medical condition of a patients by maintaining social distance. A robotic cart will provide food and medicine to the patient. The proposed system also contains an emergency system where the doctor and paramedical staff can be called through the LCD panel installed aside the patient's bed or through the mobile application. The article portrays the three levels of the development of the model: the equipment level, which contains the sensors, actuators and robot execution. The design level, which defines the distinctive practical services; and the application level which illustrate the administrations offered by the system. The setup will enable the medical staff to deal with the maximum patients at less time. Also, it will enable them to make social distancing to pay more attention to severely affected patients.
