Substantiation of the Required World Model Configuration for Autonomous Mobile Medical Service Robots

Development of smart mobile service medical robots is the actual and interesting problem in the modern biomedical instrumentation. This study is aimed at development of the theoretical basis of the modern medical robotics, in particular, of the theory of autonomous mobile service medical robots. Based on the expert analysis of typical scenarios of behaviour of service medical robots in clinics, the necessity of development of reasoning-based robots with built-in world model was substantiated. It was shown, that the development of the world model should be the key start point of all the process of development and design of such robots. General technical requirements for the robot’s world model, for its composition and functionality, were formulated. It was shown also, that the world model of such robots must maintain a database of precedents of various events and must work taking into account both embedded instincts of the robots and general rules of the World.
