ROSCon 2019 Presentation by Selina Seah (Changi General Hospital), Morgan Quigley (Open Robotics)
This presentation will share how the Singapore Public Healthcare domain’s roadmap to adopting robotics and smart systems; and the need for interoperability of complex and disparate technological systems with HIT and infrastructure. The Centre for Healthcare Assistive & Robotics Technology (CHART), appointed by Ministry of Health, works with various government agencies and industry partners to use ROS 2 as part of the Robotics Middleware Framework and Gazebo as part of the QA cycle before deployment. The developed framework is not only for ROS devices; it is able to support near real time communications between ROS and non-ROS devices; and models to harmonise the navigation of heterogeneous robotic fleets to optimize utilization of common infrastructure resources, meeting healthcare needs.
