Mobile Operated Robotic Medical Trolly

Operating theatre or ward is a place in a hospital where surgical operations are conducted on patients by surgeons or ward boys. In the Operating theatre or ward, the surgical equipment is placed on stainless steel table or on surgical instrument tray. However, during the operation accidents can occur where the surgical tools placed near to the surgeon could be accidentally be hit by them during the surgical operation. This may cause the surgical tools to fall on the floor which may lead to injuries. Hence, this project presents an automatic medical trolley for surgeons or ward boys to grab operating tools easily. This trolly also help to collect the garbage and offer the foor and medicines to the patients. This trolley can be controlled remotely using IOT by any person. The proposed system is implemented for automatic medical trolley movement using Arduino Uno R3. The invention provides an automatic medical trolley which comprises automatic guidance, a wireless controller, an obstacle avoiding detection device, a touch screen controller via smart phone, an IP camera, a trolley, an integrated power supply and a processor. The trolley with stainless steel shelves is ideal for use in clinical environments and operation theatres. Medical equipment is loaded in the trolley, the wireless remote drives the trolley to move forwards and backwards. Automatic visual guidance is achieved via an IP camera attached to the trolley and a touch screen controller via a smart phone. A large amount of space and a large number of materials are saved, the workload of medical workers will be greatly relieved, and the working efficiency will be improved.
