AI autonomous driving patrol robot specialist ‘Dogu Space (CEO Jinhyo Kim)’ announced on the 18th that it participated in the ‘2024 Regulatory Innovation Robot Demonstration Project’ hosted by the Korea Robot Industry Advancement Institute together with Guro Hospital of Korea University and successfully completed the ‘Elevator-mounted service robot demonstration for nighttime drug delivery and operating room specimen transfer’.
This project aimed to improve the logistics process within the hospital by automating the nighttime drug and operating room specimen transport tasks using autonomous robots. To this end, two Iroi, an indoor patrol robot in the tool space, performed the drug and specimen delivery tasks at Guro Hospital.
Through this demonstration project, Tool Space successfully implemented a technology that allows robots to communicate directly with elevators via the Internet and move between floors on their own. It is possible to operate by integrating software without the development or additional installation of separate hardware such as robot arms, cameras, or physical sensors, so the burden of introduction is low and the convenience of use is excellent.
We have prepared various measures to ensure the safe delivery of medicines and specimens where security and management are important. ▲Introduced a password and facial recognition double locking system to prevent loss and damage. ▲By applying heat and cold insulation to the delivery box, we have maintained a constant temperature of 22 degrees, preventing spoilage due to temperature changes during delivery. ▲Designed to withstand a maximum load of 20 kg during driving, it can safely transport large quantities of medicines and specimens.
In addition, the tool space has improved user convenience by additionally developing ▲mobile applications for calling robots and ▲touch panel UI/UX design for entering robot commands for medical staff who are not familiar with using robots.
A Tool Space official said, “Through this demonstration, we have created an important turning point in expanding the role and potential of patrol robots into the medical field.” He continued, “Now that we have proven the autonomous driving technology of Tool Space patrol robots and their applicability in medical settings, we plan to accelerate the development of next-generation patrol robot solutions that encompass security, medical care, and even logistics in the future.”
Separately, one more Iroi has been introduced to the tool space and is being used for multi-purpose purposes such as guidance and patrol, and even after the demonstration project, we plan to continue collaboration with Guro Hospital of Korea and the introduction of a smart hospital.
