Robo Aid the autonomous fetching robot

Abstract

With the ever-rising use of machines we are seeing a shift in our lifestyles, moving form a more traditional to a western way of life. This has resulted in households that have almost all members working a job while the old members, kids and injured stay at home. There is also a shift to nuclear families so, there might be times when no one is available to take care of an injured, physically challenged or an old member of the family. Our project Robo-Aid is designed to cater to the needs of people in such scenarios. Robo-Aid is an autonomous robot which serves the purpose of taking care of the Ill, Injured, old or physically challenged members of the household by bringing them articles that they need and are out of reach, or bringing medicines when required and such. The range of applications can be expanded to a helping robot for the kitchen, automated trolley for hospitals and so on.
