- Abstract: Robotic nursing aid is one of the heavily researched areas in robotics
nowadays. Several robotic assistants exist that only focus on a specific
function related to nurses assistance or functions related to patient aid.
There is a need for a unified system that not only performs tasks that would
assist nurses and reduce their burden but also perform tasks that help a
patient. In recent times, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is also an
increase in the need for robotic assistants that have teleoperation
capabilities to provide better protection against the virus spread. To address
these requirements, we propose a novel Multi-purpose Intelligent Nurse Aid
(MINA) robotic system that is capable of providing walking assistance to the
patients and perform teleoperation tasks with an easy-to-use and intuitive
Graphical User Interface (GUI). This paper also presents preliminary results
from the walking assistant task that improves upon the current state-of-the-art
methods and shows the developed GUI for teleoperation.
