Medical Assistant Robot With Patient Trajectory Reading Based on Odometry using Photovoltaic source

Abstract

Robotics technology is growing and being applied in various fields such as education, industry, household, and health. In the world of health, mobile robots are one of the robotics technologies that can provide solutions to overcome the problem of treatment carried out on patients infected with infectious diseases. With the medical assistant robot, treatment efforts can be carried out by not making direct contact with patients and nurses so that the risk of nurses contracting the disease can be reduced. Mobile robot is one type of robot that can move in all directions. Autonomous mobile robot is a type of robot that is able to move to a destination automatically. By utilizing this robot in health services, it can help several tasks of medical personnel, such as monitoring patients, as a delivery person for medicines, food, and goods. For the implementation of this autonomous mobile robot, a good navigation system and control system algorithm is needed. In this study, the principle of odometry will be implemented in tracking path on a medical assistant robot. In the experiment of adjusting the position of the robot’s motion, it can be seen that the robot can move according to the expected position by adding a PID control to correct the error value in the position of the robot.
