We extend our gratitude and thank to SLIC for assisting financial support for the development of this invention and apply for the patent within one week.
Our invention is a semi automated telepresence robot for Indoor transportation for deliver meals, drugs, and garbage collection and for patient interview in covid-19 wards or suspect patients’ wards. In addition to that, this is suitable for manufacturing plants, warehouses. This robot can be used as a remote control or run on automated guided path. But you can override anytime. It has obstacle detection sensors, mechanical dampers to avoid collision. Also most importantly it has a camera and display for Video conferencing facility to communicate with patients.
