Automating Logistics for Healthcare Environments using Autonomous Robots

  • Project Year: 2025-26
  • Departments Represented: MEng
  • Industry/Track: Robotics, Aerospace, or Automotive Advancements

We are creating the chassis and navigation system for a larger project focused on reinventing healthcare logistics through autonomous robots. We manage the motion of the system, determining the dynamic model, and the autonomous navigation. For the navigation, we compare different methods, such as state-estimation based control, reinforcement learning control, and model predictive control, to determine which methods best work for a healthcare environment. We closely factor in the safety and privacy needs of our primary customer, inpatient facilities. We work closely with capstone group 6 to manage the business needs of the larger project, handling customer outreach, financials, and investor contacts.
