Mobile Trolley for Medical Applications

This paper provides a mobile apparatus for medical application which comprises a medical trolley, automatic guidance, a wireless controller, human follower using ultrasonic sensors, an obstacle avoiding detection device, an IP camera, a smartphone touch screen controller, an integrated power supply, and a processor. The trolley with stainless steel shelves is ideal for use in clinical environments and operation theatres. The wireless remote drives the trolley to move forward and backward. An IP camera is attached to the trolley to provide visual guidance controlled using a smartphone. The system uses ultrasonic sensors for human follower. Arduino Development Board is used as the processor for the automated mobile trolley system. The implementation of the system can save a large amount of space. The workload of medical workers will be greatly relieved and the working efficiency can be improved.
