Project
- Description: This is a basic robotic prototype that can carry the oxygen tank of an COPD patient. It is designed to be used for Pulmonary Rehabilitation protocols that are performed at rehabilitation clinics, like ALPI in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The robot works by following a pair of tethers and adjust its velocity based on their length difference.
Scope
The project has already been built and we are currently working towards creating obstacle avoidance mechanisms on the robot to avoid other patients and caregivers at the Rehabilitation Gym.
