This paper describes an innovative robotic platform for clinical tests suitable for small-or medium-sized laboratories using small-sized multiple mobile robots and a robotic arm, “BioRobot Platform”. The authors present design and schematics of BioRobot Platform, localization method, path planning algorithm, experiments for performance evaluations. From this presentation, the paper concludes that BioRobot Platform has provided flexibility in test process and also gained productivity from experiments.
From the state-of-the-art, the paper identifies challenges in the conventional total laboratoy automation systems that the conveyor belt systems are difficult to setup in small- or medium-sized hospitals since the systems are enormous and a large amount of investment is needed. and its sequential process has given difficulty when facing technical issues The paper addresses these challenges by an innovative robotic platform with mobile agents that gives flexibility in process. The results of this approach are novel.
The paper presents the following theoretical principles: (1) Robotics; (2) Localization; (3) Motion Control; (4) Path Planning; (5) Job Scheduling process.
The principles are explained well. For example Figure 1-11 show the clear explanation for design of “BioRobot Platform”. Figure 2, 13-17 show the correct system description, schemetic of control system, and procedure for testing. Figure 18, 19 show very clear description for path planning.
From the principles and results, the paper concludes: (1) BioRobot Platform has provided flexibility in test process and also gained productivity from experiments. (2) Feasibility of the BioRobot Platform is validated through preliminary experiments
Dongbin Kim liked this paper because -The idea is very novel -Mobile agent has possibility to be employed as UAV -The theories in this paper are very helpful for study and clearly described Three things I learned from this paper were: (1) Path planning algorithm; (2) Efficient Job Scheduling; and (3) Hardware that I was not familiar with.
