Design of Smart Drawer System for Implementation to Medical Robot Logistics Transportation

CoViD-19 pandemic hugely impacted the healthcare system, especially at the health facility. Numerous health care workers (HCWs) died because of CoViD-19 infection. This problem encourages the design of Medical Robot - control Intelligent Assistive Technology (MR-IAT) to reduce contact between HCWs and patients. The proposed system was a drawer system with a linear motor actuator equipped with UV-C lamp to disinfect the drawer and its inside part. The UV-C disinfection starts when the drawer is closed, and the disinfection stops when the drawer is open or the radiation time has been fulfilled. The actuator controlled the drawer position. The research results show that the design succeed and can be used effectively as the drawer system for MR-IAT robot.
