Abstract

Medical robotics is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on developing electromechanical devices for clinical applications. The goal of this field is to enable new medical techniques by providing new capabilities to the physician or by assisting with surgical procedures. Medical robots can play an important role in decreasing the spread of infectious diseases and delivering quality care to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 is a respiratory viral disease with transmission via respiratory aerosols and microdroplets. This places clinicians and healthcare professionals at risk of contracting the virus when caring for patients infected with COVID-19. So, medical robots have the unique capability to bridge the gap between remote healthcare providers and patients by interacting with imaging and therapeutic equipment and with patients, ushering in the next generation of telecare. Methods and procedures involving medical robots in the continuum of care, ranging from disease prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and home care, have been extensively deployed and also present incredible opportunities for future development. Our graduation project has produced a medical mobile robot. Such a robot has been controlled wireless to record and send the vital measurements remotely to the clinical staff. This paper presents the construction, operation, and control techniques in detail.
