Overview
Designed mechanical systems for a remote-operated nurse assistance robot during COVID-19 to reduce frontline exposure. Focused on contactless monitoring and medication delivery in isolation rooms and hospital wards.
The Problem
Frontline staff faced high exposure risk while performing routine tasks in isolation wards. Hospitals needed rapidly deployable solutions that maintained hygiene and safety.
My Approach
Developed a remote-operated nurse robot for contactless assistance, prioritizing ease of disinfection, safe operation around patients, and reliable deployment. Designed compact, stable chassis with mechanisms for controlled movement. Enclosures built for easy cleaning and contamination control. Integrated thermal sensor, camera, display, microphone/speaker, running on Raspberry Pi + Arduino Mega.
Key Results
Deployed in hospital environment and isolation rooms. Validated through real-world use, not lab-only testing. Reduced direct exposure for healthcare workers and demonstrated rapid-response robotics feasibility in healthcare.
