Writte by robots.net the 21/11/2006
Mobile Robots MURDOC and ROHAS from InTouch Health
are making the rounds at
Houston's Methodist Hospital, giving critically ill patients better
access to physicians via 2-way real-time video and audio.
The RP-7 remote presence robot sports a pan/tilt/zoom head,
omnidirectional drive, IR sensors and vision for collision avoidance,
and an 802.11 wireless connection. An expansion bay can accept medical
equipment such as echocardiograms, ultrasound, and bedside monitors.
