Abstract
Mobile robotics has become a well-known research area in healthcare applications; as it defines itself from general robotics, it can move in the surrounding environment which is essential for replicating human abilities. Mobile robots can be utilized in the hospital for health care applications like nursing for doctor assistance and patient monitoring, drug delivery, and teleoperation for contagious diseases. However, mobile robots need unique characteristics, such as the function of locomotion, perception, navigation, and vision systems. The solution and challenge of a mobile robot’s characteristics must be considered when developing a mobile robot. Therefore, they are becoming more autonomous, adaptable to changing situations, and extending their range of applications. This study aimed to investigate the system, which includes both physical robot features (sensors & actuators) and a comparison of different mobile robots in terms of their characteristics and applications in health care. In the coming years, mobile robotics will see increased development, incorporating cognitive architecture, artificial intelligence, speech communication, and affective human–robot interaction. Future healthcare intelligent mobile robots aim to enhance autonomy, communication, data security, and ethical considerations, enhancing patient care, efficiency, and collaboration between medical professionals and technology, shaping the future of healthcare delivery. This review paper presents an overview of the current mobile robot design architecture, which advances the design of the next generation of intelligent mobile robots used in healthcare.
