Abstract

Abstract: This paper introduces a service robot system for remote medical inspection. The robot is developed with the following functions: it is able to navigate in working area autonomously and be controlled remotely by doctors through a handheld terminal device; it is able to follow a fixed target such as nurses and doctors to reach any area; it has a touch-control interactive interface which can realize remote audio and video interaction between doctors and patients; it is embedded with portable type-B ultrasonic device, sphygmomanometer and thermometer for doctors to obtain physiological data of patients. With the above-mentioned functions, the robot can help doctors communicate with patients in real time, grasp the patients' situation promptly and evaluate the patients' healthiness dynamically, and it can finally be applied in the fields of ward patrol in hospital, mobile medical care in community and nursing home and expert teleconsultation.

Key words: remote inspection, autonomous navigation, remote interaction, physiological data acquisition
