Projektbeschreibung
Einsatz von Robotern in Krankenhäusern und Büros
Roboter kommen bereits in Lagern und Fabriken von Produktionsstätten zum Einsatz, wobei das verarbeitende Gewerbe derzeit wohl der größte Anwender von Robotern ist. Die nächsten großen Anwendungsgebiete für Logistikroboter werden wahrscheinlich gewerbliche Innenbereiche sein – Krankenhäuser, Hotels und Büros. Neben einem strukturierten Navigationsraum verfügen diese nämlich auch über eine zuverlässige Kommunikationsinfrastruktur, da diese für den normalen Geschäftsbetrieb benötigt wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird das EU-finanzierte Projekt ENDORSE Lösungen zur vollständigen Automatisierung von Arbeitsabläufen und Rückverfolgbarkeit sondieren. Konkret wird der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit auf der Entwicklung infrastrukturloser Multi-Roboter-Navigation in überfüllten Räumen liegen sowie auf der Konzeption modularer Robotersysteme, die sowohl logistische als auch telemedizinische Dienste anbieten können.
Ziel
Commercial indoor spaces such as hospitals, hotels, offices offer great potential for commercial exploitation of logistic robotics. Also, offer advantages for their deployment, since they are required by law to meet stringent building codes, and therefore the navigation space exhibits some structure. In addition, they offer reliable communications infrastructure, since this is required for normal business operation. Thus, commercial spaces are rightfully considered the next great field of logistic robotics deployment. Despite these advantages, today, few solutions exist, and these solutions do not trigger widespread acceptance by the market. This is because existing systems require costly infrastructure installation (arrays of peripheral sensors, mapping, etc.); they do not easily integrate to corporate IT solutions and as a result, they do not fully automate procedures and traceability; they are limited to a single type of service, i.e. transfer of goods.
Through transfer of knowledge, multidisciplinary research and cross-fertilization between academia and industry, ENDORSE will address the aforementioned technical hurdles. Four innovation pillars will be pursued: (i) infrastructure-less multi-robot navigation, i.e. minimum (if any) installation of sensors and communications buses inside the building for the localization of robots, targets and docking stations; (ii) advanced HRI for resolving deadlocks and achieving efficient sharing of space resources in crowded spaces; (iii) deployment of the ENDORSE software as a cloud-based service facilitating its integration with corporate software solutions such as ERP, CRM, etc.; (iv) reconfigurable and modular hardware architectures so that diverse modules can be easily swapped. The latter will be demonstrated and validated by the integration of an e-diagnostic support module (equipped with non-invasive sensors/devices) and the Electronic Health Records (EHR) interfacing, which will serve as an e-diagnostic mobile station
