Abstract

This paper presents a robot system for healthcare facility environments. Current healthcare robot systems do not address healthcare workflows well and our goal is to provide distributed, heterogeneous multiple robot systems that are capable of integrating with healthcare workflows and are easy to modify when workflow requirements change. The proposed system consists of three subsystems: a receptionist robot system, a nurse assistant robot system, and a medical server. The roles of the receptionist robot and the nurse assistant robot are to do tasks to help the human receptionist and nurse. The healthcare robots upload and download patient information through the medical server and provide data summaries to human care givers via a web interface. We developed these healthcare robot systems based on our new robotic software framework, which is designed to easily integrate different programming frameworks, and minimize the impact of framework differences and new versions. We test the functionalities of each healthcare robot system, evaluate the robot-robot collaboration, and present a case study.

用于医院环境的医疗保健机器人系统:CareBot和receitionbot

本文提出了一种用于医疗设施环境的机器人系统。当前的医疗保健机器人系统不能很好地处理医疗保健工作流程，我们的目标是提供分布式、异构的多机器人系统，这些系统能够与医疗保健工作流程集成，并且在工作流程需求发生变化时易于修改。该系统由三个子系统组成:接待员机器人系统、护士助理机器人系统和医疗服务器。接待员机器人和护士助理机器人的角色是帮助人类接待员和护士完成任务。医疗机器人通过医疗服务器上传和下载患者信息，并通过web界面向人类护理人员提供数据摘要。我们基于新的机器人软件框架开发了这些医疗保健机器人系统，该框架旨在轻松集成不同的编程框架，并最大限度地减少框架差异和新版本的影响。我们测试了每个医疗保健机器人系统的功能，评估了机器人-机器人协作，并提出了一个案例研究。
