Hospital Robot Build
Posted: Dec 20, 2024
A medium sized robot build has been upgraded from the "Delivery Robot Build". This project seeks to create a robot that can be used in hospitals or institutions. People will be able to place parcels on the robot and then command it to deliver the box to any destination on the floor. The robot will travel using only its vision and sensors. This project will create an autonimous navigation system using AI techniques. In addition a process has been established to consult doctors and nurses.
Tasks to work on:
  • Survey and Meetings with doctors and nurses.
  • Final assembly of mideum sized robot.
  • Integrating the s-LLM and CNN.
  • Integrating the GUI tablet and network command-line.

Posted: Dec 20, 2024
A team of 5 independently operated robots form the swarm. The project continue the construction of robust machinary and networking software to control the swarm. In addition a communication architecture that provides an API for multi-agent and AI algorithms is under development.
Tasks to work on:
  • Robustness of robots.
  • Robustness of network.
  • Robot to AI Communication API infrastructure.
  • Proof of concept experiments.
