Notice of Removal Mobile medical round robot with specified human tracking control system using environment recognition and inertial navigation

摘要

We have developed a robot that accompanies healthcare professionals making rounds in wards at hospitals. This novel robot mainly executes two tasks: carrying armamentarium and recording data on rounds. An omnidirectional mobile mechanism and a human tracking control system to follow a specified medical professional realize smooth transfer movement from a nurses station to wards. Data on rounds is automatically recorded by a CCD camera and a voice recorder. When the robot is connected via a cable to a medical data server, the robot transmits patients' data to the server and receives new patients' information.
