Abstract

In this article, a mobile robot for item delivery with tele-operation capability is developed and used in the field hospital. The user is able to control the robot and communicate with the patients via an web-App on a cloud server. The robots are deployed and tested on-site in a large size field hospital, while the workload of the robot is studied and planned by using simulation approach. However, the difficulties on actual implementation have arise due to the working condition and risk of infection. These take into account in the development and deployment phases of the system. © 2021 IEEE.
