A novel combination of mobile robots and passive RFID for ensuring functioning of critical care environments during major crises

Description of the granted funding

In this ambitious research project, the functioning of critical healthcare environments during major crises is ensured by modern technologies. We are establishing clothing-integrated and healthcare environment-embedded passive RFID solutions and utilizing data fusion for supporting mobile robots with the passive RFID data. Through this, we employ mobile robots to accomplish optimized routine work tasks and various critical supplementary missions during crises. Project deliverables include refereed articles in high-impact international scientific journals & conference proceeding and high-quality demo videos, which visualize the potentialities but also the challenges of the developed solutions. The carefully selected project collaboration team will enable high social impact of the research, as their substance skills guide the development towards the real-life needs of healthcare environments.
