Robotic Applications for Safe Operations in Hospital Isolation Rooms

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Hospital isolation rooms expose healthcare workers to infection risks during routine tasks like IV bag replacement and material delivery. This paper presents a teleoperated TIAGo robot system controlled via Bluetooth joystick through a modular ROS 2 architecture including five specialized Python nodes to manage robot subsystems. Two Gazebo simulation scenarios validate the approach: IV replacement and meal delivery in modeled hospital rooms, demonstrating feasibility for reducing exposure.
