Diseño y Construcción de un Prototipo de Robot Semiautónomo para el Consultorio Pediátrico Harker

Abstract

The present project wants to contribute to the reduction of interruptions inside the Harker Pediatric center office because patients enter inside the rooms where someone is attending other patients, making users and workers feel annoyed. These interruptions happen because the distribution and organization in the clinic could be hard to understand to the new people. Is also seeks to add value to the Pediatric Center because few colombian institutions have this type of technology focused on well-being of customers. It wants to give value added to the Pediatric Center too, because a few colombian institutions have this kind of technology focused on customer confort. According to the above, the mechatronic design and construction of a robot prototype will be carried out that works as a guide for patients at the Harker Pediatric Center. When the patients go inside the institution, they must register at the reception and go to the waiting room where they will be called and may follow the robot on the way to the room where they will be treated. The project is divided into two phases: the first phase is the design, and it first defined the scope, the schedule, the plans (of the physical model of the robot and the circuit implemented), and additionally the materials necessary to carry out the process. The second phase is the construction of the prototype is divided into four subphases: Software development, implementation of the previously designed circuits and programs, the assembly of all parts and finally the functional test. In the design and construction of the robot prototype, techniques put to the test in different subjects in the mechatronic engineering of the Santo Tomás University are implemented like: Microcontrollers to use Arduino and construction of the electronic card, mobile robotics gave us the knowledge of kinds of robots, in special, differential robots, draw of pieces and draw of machines were important to the physical design.
