Abstract
In this project, we have aimed to design a fully voice controlled robot which can work round the clock as an assistant in hospitals. The intention was to design a cost-effective robot which can work in the absence of a nurse, thus reducing overload on workers or solving staff shortage situations. This robot is also energy efficient and does not consume so much of power. The design chosen for the robot is such that it can move freely for its size and have user-friendly features for a hospital and patient to take care of his/her needs.
