Automatic Guidance and Assistance in Specific Areas Based on Mobile Robot

Abstract

At present, COVID-19 still affects the world. In order to avoid contact among people, we build site simulation maps for specific areas of the region and introduce mobile robots. In the hospital, it is possible to simulate the route between the corridor and the ward, and use mobile robots to complete specific location guidance and regional patrols, replacing medical manpower. With our proposed system, the user can reach the desired destination through the voice guidance of the robot without the assistance of medical staff. When the user is in danger, the robot can provide a video phone to complete the emergency contact, so that the staff can remotely control the robot to assist the user. We add automatic patrol and detection to the robot's travel route. When the robot finds suspicious objects in the process of moving, the system immediately returns to the alarm guard. The results show that mobile robots can effectively reduce manpower and avoid contact between people.
