ROBOVANTRI

In today’s society, robots have become an indispensible part of human life. With more than 12000 hospitals, curing the health of billion plus Indian population, the problem of medical wastage disposal is a growing concern. To overcome shortcomings/inconsistency of assistance in medication, problem of medical wastage disposal and humans getting affected, we have attempted to build our project "Robovantri , a medical robotic assistant, specially designed to aid the Indian hospital conditions. We aim for overcoming shortage of nursing staff, segregation, recycling, disposal of medical waste, a floor-wise robotic control system that can operate multiple controllable robots, for storing the patients' medical history and also to overcome nursing problems in unreachable rural areas. The robot uses signboards placed at various critical points in the hospital for deciding the best possible pathway to reach its destination. We are implementing this using image processing in MATLAB

A Narrative Review on Wearable Inertial Sensors for Human Motion Tracking in Industrial Scenarios

Industry 4.0 has promoted the concept of automation, supporting workers with robots while maintaining their central role in the factory. To guarantee the safety of operators and improve the effectiveness of the human-robot interaction, it is important to detect the movements of the workers. Wearable inertial sensors represent a suitable technology to pursue this goal because of their portability, low cost, and minimal invasiveness. The aim of this narrative review was to analyze the state-of-the-art literature exploiting inertial sensors to track the human motion in different industrial scenarios. The Scopus database was queried, and 54 articles were selected. Some important aspects were identified: (i) number of publications per year; (ii) aim of the studies; (iii) body district involved in the motion tracking; (iv) number of adopted inertial sensors; (v) presence/absence of a technology combined to the inertial sensors; (vi) a real-time analysis; (vii) the inclusion/exclusion of the magnetometer in the sensor fusion process. Moreover, an analysis and a discussion of these aspects was also developed
