This project involves the development of a driverless robotic nurse, aimed at assisting COVID-19 patients in hospitals. Utilizing a FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller, an ESP8266 WiFi module, and an MPU-6000 IMU, the autonomous guidance vehicle (AGV) limits human interaction, enhancing patient safety during the pandemic.

Robotic Nurse: Autonomous Guidance Vehicle (AGV) for Hospital Assistance

This repository houses the innovative project I had the privilege to contribute to at Fluxing Engineering. We designed and built a driverless robotic nurse for COVID-19 patients. The principal objective was to minimize human interaction in healthcare facilities while ensuring the patients' needs are met effectively.

⚙️ What's Inside?

The project followed a structured process:

  1. Feasibility Analysis - We conducted comprehensive market research and cost analysis, considering various factors.
  2. Prototype Design - Our team developed a functional prototype of the robotic nurse.
  3. Hardware Assembly - We handpicked the hardware components, ensuring compatibility and effectiveness.
  4. Software Integration - The chosen hardware was fused with a well-structured software that adhered to the customer's specifications.
  5. Microcontroller Programming - We utilized the FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller to control the AGV and enabled it to receive and send information through a website.
  6. Website Development - In addition to the robotic nurse, we also developed a website to control and monitor the device.
  7. Testing and Refinement - Rigorous testing was conducted to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the robot.
