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，以及被这些体液污染的表面和材料，在人与人之间传播。Hstar技术公司正在开发和验证用于传染性患者的先进移动升降和转移机器人护理助手，作为一种可行的方法，可以在没有护理人员直接接触的情况下运送患者。一个独特的联动系统允许强大的，安全的，灵活的升降和定位的病人与最少数量的执行器。升降机构安装在一个低轮廓，稳定和灵活的足迹机器人移动基础上，适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一个护理人员在机器人旁边或远程进行最少的训练。这项研究包括开发可行和新颖的合作护士机器人协议，这将导致患者和护理人员的医疗保健增强。该项目利用可快速部署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科技凭借其在自主移动平台、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.
