Individuals with motor impairments often struggle with walking rehabilitation due to the lack of accessible, lightweight, and affordable assistive systems. The goal of this project is to develop a wearable mechanical device that simulates leg movement, promoting rehabilitation. We want to create a low-cost, adjustable, and user-friendly solution for controlled motion of the hip and knee joints. Our design process included requirement analysis, mechanical calculations, component selection, and 3D modeling using lightweight materials. The final prototype demonstrates effective joint movement and offers a practical alternative to existing systems. Future work should explore system integration, performance evaluation, and clinical adaptation.

This project presents the development of an autonomous robotic system designed to support medical teams operating in non-sterile field environments by transporting essential equipment.
The robot autonomously follows certified medical personnel, reducing their physical efforts, enhancing mobility across complex terrains, and enabling faster access to critical medical supplies. By freeing the medical staff from carrying equipment and supplies, the robot enables them to fully concentrate on caring for the sick or wounded-particularly in time-sensitive, high-pressure situations. This leads to improved workflow, reduced fatigue, and more efficient utilization of human resources during emergencies. Our system integrates autonomous navigation, adaptive mobility, and intelligent control, while streamlining medical logistics and ensuring continuity of care in dynamic and challenging environments.
Keywords: autonomous medical robotics, computer-assisted medical logistics, emergency response technology, non-sterile field operations, omnidirectional mobility system
