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.

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，以及被这些体液污染的表面和材料在人与人之间传播。Hstar Technologies正在为传染病患者开发和验证先进的移动式搬运机器人护理助理，作为一种可行的运送患者的方法，而不需要护理人员直接接触。独特的联动系统使患者只需使用最少数量的致动器即可实现强大、安全和灵活的抬起和定位。起升机构安装在一个低调、稳定和灵活的机器人移动基座上，用于各种地形和建筑物之间。简单、直观的用户界面允许单个护理者在机器人旁边或远程进行最少的培训即可控制。这项研究包括开发可行的新型协作护士-机器人协议，将为患者和护理者带来医疗保健改善。该项目利用可快速展开的铰接式机械臂和温和的传送带，以应对传染病的紧急爆发。Hstar Technologies正在利用其在自主移动平台、人类机器人交互、操作控制、机器人灵巧操作和触觉方面的专业知识。
