| ABSTRACT |
There are a few commercial hospital robots which carry articles from one nurse-station to another. Our proposal is a Nurse following robot - a personal robot for nurse. This robot has sensors and special wheels. It searches for the nurse to whom it is allotted for and who is going from bed to bed clinical-round with or without doctors. It tracks the nurse wherever she is and goes and stands near to her. It identifies the nurse through an identifier system. It carries all needed equipments, gadgets, files and a laptop that is connected to Hospital LAN. Its speed is automatically varied depending on its distance from the nurse.
