Development of multi-functional robotic test-bed for post-surgical healthcare room

The development of a robot assisted recovery room is presented for post-surgical healthcare. Robotic beds, multi-media environment, and multi-sensor monitoring are the three key components in the recovery room. The robotic beds are developed for posture changing and body transferring, the multi-media environment is employed for effectively pacifying the patients´ psychological condition, and multiple sensors are used to monitor environmental condition and patient´s physiological status. The recovery room is designed to provide safe, happy, and effective treatment and monitor patients´ medical status, simultaneously. The proposed room is experimentally tested on the breathing functionality for relaxing the post-surgical patients. The test result shows that the breathing frequency of post-surgical patients could be gradually affected by the bed motion frequency of the robotic bed.
