Autonomous Self Balancing trolley for hospitals
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryIn today's era, robots have taken the place of human beings and now robots are used at the most advanced levels. Self-balancing is playing a very important role in the world of the robotics; Robots can also do tasks that are difficult for humans.
The project entitled “Autonomous self balancing trolleys for hospitals” is a self balancing trolley on two wheels that will balance the equipments placed on it. This self balancing trolley is controlled remotely.
Hospital is a place where you have to stay on duty for 24/7. Robots are playing a better role than human, such as they never get tired doing constant and repetitive task, but a human can get exhausted.

Hospital is a place where you have to stay on duty for 24/7. Robots are playing a better role than human, such as they never get tired doing constant and repetitive task, but a human can get exhausted.Project Objectives
The purpose of making this project is to make a self balancing device that is controlled autonomously; Automatic guided vehicles are being widely used in variety of applications to transport many kinds of materials from here to there. It is very economical and helpful in many organizations, industries, hospitals and other workshops. It serves repetitive transport of things over distance.Project Implementation Method
In this project Arduino is used to control overall management, PID algorithm is used to write program in Arduino board. Motor helps to keep the robot in upright position while using gyroscope and accelerometer sensors. Using all the results that have been obtain from the sensors and calculated result, it can solve the problem of inverted pendulum and therefore it can hold the robot in upright position, sense tilt and drive wheels to make robot erect. The ultrasonic sensor receives the signal and convert it into electrical signal, it detects obstacle in front of robot and sudden take decision to stop. Lithium ion battery is used to give charge it is a rechargeable battery.
Benefits of the ProjectThis is very helpful when there is a shortage of operating staff in hospitals. Moreover, these robots will be beneficial in the situations where humans are prohibited because of spread of infection and exposure to radiations. For example, in the prohibited area, self balancing robot can transport the food, equipments and other stuff in the defined area. This robot is able to perform repetitive tasks for unlimited time. This prototype application will be further used in other scenarios such as in restaurants, in hotels, in factories and in any other organization as per need.Technical Details of Final Deliverable
The final deliverable of this project is a self balancing robot for hospitals that will be well tested with the balancing of hospital related equipments. The main goal of the designed and tested robot is to control its stability at any cost.Final Deliverable of the Project Hardware SystemCore Industry MedicalOther Industries IT , Transportation , Health Core Technology RoboticsOther Technologies Artificial Intelligence(AI)Sustainable Development Goals Good Health and Well-Being for People, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureRequired Resources
