Medical sensing meets autonomous navigation
V-DOC combines medical sensors, patient communication, embedded computing, sample and medication compartments, navigation hardware, and deployment-specific software.
Medical features
- Heart rate and blood oxygen from pulse-oximeter sensors
- Blood pressure through an enclosed cuff system
- Infrared non-contact body temperature
- Breathing rate through smart spirometer integration
- Extendable weighing scale for seated patient access
- Height measurement through stadiometer and ultrasonic sensing
- Specimen deposit and insulated storage where sample collection is required
- Medication dispensing for prescribed dosage support
Autonomous navigation hardware
- Stereo cameras for long-range 3D recognition and mapping
- 2D LIDAR for real-time 360-degree obstacle detection
- HD color cameras for path recognition and backup perception
- 3D LIDAR or time-of-flight cameras for low-light and fine field-of-view mapping
- IMU for relative orientation and movement inside hospitals or mapped environments
- RTK GNSS and marked-road approaches for rural movement in the original B.A.R.M concept
Mobile vs Stationary
A mobile unit supports autonomous hospital movement. A stationary unit keeps core diagnostic abilities for fixed or manually positioned use.
