Abstract

The aim of this paper is the presentation of an automatic transport system of materials (food, supplies, clothing and medicine) in hospital environments using mobile robots. This article discusses some aspects of the physical platform development, in particular those related to the control system, software architecture, the generation and path tracking, job scheduling and traffic management system, as well as results of the integration of the global system and its application to a hospital transport system. The global system consists of a set of mobile robots capable of independent navigation and a central server which manages the activities to be performed by robots and organize traffic at critical points. Although robots perform tasks independently, interacting with environmental elements such as elevators, occupancy sensors in areas of pick and drop, and doors, is also done through the central server. Human operators can connect to the central server to change the activities to be performed by robots or monitor its statu
