Abstract

Hospital Logistics deals with effective and efficient ways to transport items in hospitals. Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) is one of the most widely used automated systems to improve the transportation process. In this research, AMRs are used for delivering food and medical supplies to individual patients. Especially in COVID-19 pandemic situation, AMRs are important tools for keeping physical distance between patients and health workers to prevent infection. In this research, the AMR is equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) module which can be connected to the IoT platform on the server side. As a result, the health workers are able to monitor can control the robots effectively via a web application. © 2020 IEEE.
