With the advancements of robotic technologies, the medical environments are adopting more and more as pects of automation to enhance the services in hos pitals. In pandemic conditions such as COVID 19, direct contact with patients may result in the s preadi ng of disease. Hence the health community finds difficulty in distri buting medicines and disposal of waste. The design and development of an automatic gui ded vehicle for hos pital applicati ons, which can be controlled remotely is specified here. AGV is a line follower robot, powered by a battery that can be charged from solar energy. It has infrared sensors at the bottom for path i dentification and an ultrasonic sensor hel d i n front of the vehicle for obstacle detection. It collects medicines from the nurse's station and follows the path provi ded to reach the suppl y point, which is the patient's bed. The sensors provi ded will detect the bed and opens the correspondi ng box of medicine. In addi tion to this, it hel ps i n real-time monitoring of patient's parameters such as temperature, pulse rate, etc. and sends informati on to the doctor through the internet. AGV also collects waste from the bi n and dump it to a proper place.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
