Title
Framework and Modeling of a Multi-robot Simulator for Hospital Logistics
Abstract
An autonomous mobile robot has opened a new era of hospital logistics. Mobile robots will substitute human courier by transporting goods within the hospital day and night. Multiple robots will be deployed at a hospital and coordinating these robots will increase the efficiency of delivery. This paper introduces the framework of the simulator which enables testing coordination algorithms of multiple robots. The simulator models hospital environment with the hospital-specific delivery demand as well as the specification of robots used for the delivery. The outcome of the simulator is the performance of applied task allocation algorithms, which includes overall delivery time and waiting time of delivery tasks.
