ROBOTIC ASSISTANT FOR WARD PATIENTS USING ARDUINO MICROCONTROLLER AND MECHATRONICS

Abstract

In today’s modern age, different technologies are emerging that facilitate humans’ daily activities or workloads. We see that the technology system is improving. Since it makes tasks more efficient, modern technology increases productivity by enabling humans to complete tasks in less time.   Robotics brings together science, engineering, and technology to create devices, or robots, that replicate or substitute human behavior. Robotics is a small subset of Mechatronics. Mechatronics aims to discover and manage innovative, intelligent, and productive machinery that can enhance processes in manufacturing.  In this study, the researchers hope to develop a Robotic Assistant for ward patients using an Arduino Microcontroller and Mechatronics that can be programmed to facilitate activities inside a hospital.   Mechatronics is used in the prototype design and manufacturing of prosthetic limbs to supply the proper joints, materials, and mechanical structures to produce realistic movements. A Robotic Assistant will help increase the standard of living while allowing humans to make work easier and faster. It is a system that is time-effective, easily operated, and efficient. In order to create a prototype of a Robotic Assistant for ward patients using an Arduino Microcontroller and Mechatronics, the researchers need representations of the project design, schematic diagram, control system used, materials used, and assembly procedure to collect the data needed for the design project. This chapter presents the precise data relevant to the study such as the schematic diagram, feedback, control system, project assembly, hardware, and software requirement of the prototype, formula, and instrument used in data gathering procedure. This chapter will highlight the key discoveries in the development and implementation of a Robotic Assistant for ward patients, such as cost, compatibility, and privacy. The various mechanisms and arrangements that enable the device to function, as well as its capabilities and constraints, will be covered. The testing and evaluation results are also interpreted and presented in this chapter.
