Application of Laser Ranging in Path Planning of Mobile Medical Robot

Abstract

Compared with traditional industrial robots, mobile robots with autonomous sensing, decision-making and execution functions have broad application prospects. With the continuous development of computer science and sensor technology, the research of mobile medical robot is also developing in the direction of intelligence and autonomy. The mobile medical robot senses the environmental information and its own state through sensors, and realizes the autonomous movement facing the target in the environment with obstacles, thus completing the medical functions specified by the designer. When applied to some practical scenes, the environment faced by mobile medical robots is often full of complexity and unknowns. Accurate 3D scene model is beneficial for robots to obtain accurate pose estimation by data matching and other methods, and can generate collision-free navigation paths based on environmental information. The mobile medical robot can move autonomously safely and effectively only if it can accurately and automatically position itself, the obstacle information in its working environment and its movement state.
