Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate a proof of concept of using an off the shelf robot, PR2 (Personal Robot 2), as nursing assistant to perform a particular task, that is assisting patients with walker. The robotic platform used in this project (PR2) has autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities. An android tablet running ROS (Robot Operating System) Java is developed for the users to interact with PR2. The experiments are performed in Assistive Robotics Laboratory in the University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI). In the laboratory, a real-world hospital setup is designed for this study, with a patient bed and walker. Patient walker is stationed in fixed location for PR2 to navigate easily. We successfully demonstrated patient walker task, and human subject tests are performed with volunteers and results are presented.
