Design and implementation of a lightweight telepresence robot for medical assistance

This paper presents a lightweight telepresence robot named “OshoBOT” designed specifically for medical assistance and nursing care inside an indoor environment. The project includes the mechanical construction of the robot, motor drive system, setting up the Labview based RIO remote controller for controlling the robot kinetics and motions. The remote control server for the robot's control has been implemented. The control stability analysis and weight comparison with different other telepresence robots in market and research works have been experimented to improve its quality factor.
