Automated Robot for Field Navigation in Multi-Floor Environments

Abstract

In certain situations people need to go some places without having any previous knowledge about the locality. This condition may occur when the place is not visited ever before, or even when there is not any available sources to situate them in the current position. In those cases, the marks of the environment are essential for achieving the area. The same condition may happen for an autonomous machine, i.e., robot. This kind of robots must be talented of solving this problem in a talented way. In order to do this, the robot must use the resources present in their atmosphere. This paper offers a RFID based system, which has been developed to guide and give important information to an autonomous robot. This robot will detect the patient’s abnormal condition and it immediately communicates it to the doctor. This system has been implemented in a real indoor environment and it has been successfully proved in the autonomous and social robot. At the end of the paper, some experimental results, carried out inside the hospital building, are discussed.
