RAPID: Robotic Nursing Assistant for Contagious Patient

埃博拉病毒通过直接接触感染者的血液、分泌物、器官或其他体液以及被这些液体污染的表面和材料进行人际传播。Hstar Technologies正在开发和验证用于传染病患者的高级移动的提升和转移机器人护理助理，作为一种可行的方法，用于在护理人员不直接接触的情况下运送患者。独特的联动系统允许使用最少数量的执行器来实现强大、安全和灵活的患者提升和定位。升降机构安装在低轮廓、稳定且灵活的足迹机器人移动的基座上，用于各种地形和建筑物之间。一个简单，直观的用户界面允许由一个护理人员与机器人旁边或远程最少的培训进行控制。这项研究包括开发可行的和新颖的合作护士机器人协议，这将导致医疗保健的增强为患者和护理人员。该项目利用可快速部署的铰接式机械臂，配备轻柔的传送带，以应对传染病的紧急爆发。Hstar Technologies利用其在自主移动的平台、人机交互、操作控制、机器人灵巧操作和触觉方面的专业知识。

Ebola virus spreads through human-to-human transmission via direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials contaminated with these fluids. Hstar Technologies is developing and validating the Advanced Mobile Lifting and Transferring Robotic Nursing Assistant for Contagious Patients as a viable means for transporting patient without direct contact by care givers. A unique linkage system allows powerful, safe, and flexible lifting and positioning of the patient with a minimal number of actuators. The lifting mechanism is mounted on a low profile, stable and flexible footprint robotic mobile base for various terrains and among buildings. A simple, intuitive user interface allows control by a single caregiver with minimal training beside the robot or remotely.This research includes developing feasible and novel cooperative nurse-robot protocols that will result in healthcare enhancement for both patients and caregivers. This project utilizes rapidly deployable, articulated robotic arms with gentle conveyor belts in reaction of urgent outbreak of contagious disease. Hstar Technologies is drawing upon its expertise in autonomous mobile platform, human robot interaction, operation control, robotic dexterous manipulation, and haptics.
