Recently, robotic nurses or nurse robots during Covid 19 period. Many studies show that robots can provide necessary support and remedies in hospital. The nurse robots can assist patients/doctors or perform some common tasks such as taking vital signs or delivering medicine. In this study, the development of 2D-Slam based navigation for an autonomous nursing robot is proposed which includes mapping and localization system to cope with challenging hospital scenarios. Our system is able to maintain a high quality global map as well as local map when the robot faces to obstacles. The simulation results in Robot Operation System (ROS) show that the proposed approach can achieve 2D Slam-based navigation system in hospital working environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
