Abstract
The use of robotic technologies for caregiving and assistance has become a very interesting research topic in the field of robotics. For this reason, the researchers at Politecnico di Torino are developing robotic solutions for indoor assistance. This paper presents the DOT PAQUITOP project, which aims at developing a mobile robotic assistant for hospital environment. The mobile robot is composed of an omnidirectional platform, named PAQUITOP, a commercial 6 dof robotic arm, sensors for the vital sign patient monitoring and a tablet to interact with the user.
