Integrated Multi-sensor Monitoring Robot for Inpatient Rooms in Hospital Environment

Abstract

The scope of this proposed system is to implement multi-sensor robot architecture. The reduction of the human activities in hospital environment is the main target of utilizing the self-governing portable robots in numerous applications. The executed robot is a self-governing four wheels system that is designed to determine the sound level, light intensity, humidity and high temperature then transmitting data to a remote location and visualized in mobile application. Bluetooth connection is established between the Arduino on the robot and the smart phone. The smart phone acts as the manual controller which is responsible for directing the robot and receive data from Arduino. The Arduino navigates the robot based on the feedbacks from ultrasonic sensor to detect the barriers.
