Development of differential suspension wheeled system for telepresence robot in rural hospital area

The shortage of healthcare population is spread around the world especially in developing countries. Telepresence robot is an excellent option to solve this problem by telepresence system. For additional, the stability of robot is an importance key to success for telepresence mission. This research presents a differential suspension designed for telepresence robot to make telepresence system is able to reach most places in hospital. Platform was measured the stability of suspension system with teleoperated function and autonomous function in simulated environment. The inertial measurement unit was used to measure stabilization of system. The suspension system is able to improve stability and reduce shock force when robot was passing uneven terrains.
