Development of multi-functional robotic test-bed for post-surgical healthcare room

摘要

The development of a robot assisted recovery room is presented for post-surgical healthcare. Robotic beds, multi-media environment, and multi-sensor monitoring are the three key components in the recovery room. The robotic beds are developed for posture changing and body transferring, the multi-media environment is employed for effectively pacifying the patients' psychological condition, and multiple sensors are used to monitor environmental condition and patient's physiological status. The recovery room is designed to provide safe, happy, and effective treatment and monitor patients' medical status, simultaneously. The proposed room is experimentally tested on the breathing functionality for relaxing the post-surgical patients. The test result shows that the breathing frequency of post-surgical patients could be gradually affected by the bed motion frequency of the robotic bed.
