They consume a lot of power and struggle when they go on rocky surface. To tackle the disadvantages of wheeled robot we replaced the wheels like shaped legs with the spider legs or spider arms. Quadruped robot has complicated moving patterns and it can also move on surfaces where wheeled shaped robots would fail. They can easily walk on rocky or uneven surface. The main purpose of the project is to develop a consistent platform that enables the implementation of steady and fast static/dynamic walking on ground/Platform to deliver medicines to covid-19 patients. The main advantage of spider robot also called as quadruped robot is that it is Bluetooth controlled robot, through the android application, we can control robot from anywhere; it avoids the obstacle using ultrasonic sensor. Key words: Bluetooth module, Quadruped, Rough-terrain robots.

INTRODUCTION There are situations where wheeled robots cannot move, so there is a requirement of mobile platforms that can move in areas with difficult terrain surrounding where wheeled robots find it difficult for movement. Examples of such circumstances can be found in search and retrieve job, and in counting transferring packages. The fundamental aim of the proposed paper is to explain an innovative, flexible and realistic model of a spider shaped robot for delivering medicines to covid patients. The purpose is to design an inexpensive model, that allows to examine and test the movement frame and deliver medicines to the covid patients. The robot should be operating https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJARET 147 [email protected] Prototype for Quadruped Robot using IoT to Deliver Medicines and Essentials to Covid-19 Patient from the remote location with the help of android application and the ultrasonic sensor is used for avoid the obstacle. In sight of the well-being and treatment of patients and the delivery of medicines according to the schedule, delivery in various wards of hospitals using robotic methodology is analysed in this task with the instruction of sensors. Since we are using android application to operate the robot, it will not collide with any other obstacle or human being as it senses the obstacle before it would collide with the help of ultrasonic sensor. It will also help people to not come in contact with other people. With the help of this method, we would ensure that the disease will not spread while the medicine delivery. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW In 2016, Mr.V.Arun, Mr. S.V.S. Prasad, G. Sridhar Reddy, L.Ruthwik Reddy, M. Venkatesh, M. Sai Pavan Kumar explained a report is about Arduino based Quadruped Robot in which basically they have made use of spider shaped legs over wheels. spider robots proposed the capability to traverse in difficult landscape, and their improvement is been seen in this field lately. However, such latest chores have utilized the impression that either the robot has complete understanding of the surrounding or the surrounding is appropriate frequent that can be traversed with only minimum impression. In this report we introduce an integrated representation and structure for a spider robot that helps it to grasp and pass over previously unseen, uneven surrounding that involves vast, crooked obstacles. In year 2016, Sharda Prasad Agrawal, Haresh Dagale, Nirmal Mohan, and L. Umanand explained by their analysis paper the planning and development of the IONS (Indoor out of doors Navigation and Surveillance), a flexible, low-cost, energy efficient, statically stable quadruped system. It is basically low-cost platform with unique design, which is basically designed for civilian applications in urban and suburban settings that includes monitoring and exploration of the area in and around a multistory building. The proposed system in this paper is equally efficient indoor as well as outdoor. The model is controlled using a web-based user interface under ubiquitous Wi-Fi network. In year 2020, Srikanth Kavirayani, Divya Sree Uddandapu, Aravind Papasani, T. Vamsi Krishna explained report is about Robot for Delivery of Medicines to Patients Using Artificial Intelligence in Health Care in which basically they build a robot to deliver the medicines in hospital ward and patients. The robot can avoid all kind obstacle including human beings, to do that they used artificial intelligence. To deliver the medicines the intelligence algorithm and sensors are used. With the help of this system, it can be very beneficial for the hospital staff as it can save a lot of time. In year 2020, B.S. Pranathi, Ananya Nair, C.S. Anushree, T.S. Chandar explained report is about SAHAYANTRA - A PATIENT ASSISTANCE ROBOT in which they have explained low cost and effective patient assistance robot which is basically a raspberry-pi based system. In this they have explained how it detects the particular needs of patient with the help of the patient’s speech input. It is detected using TensorFlow lite object detection model. In this way the proposed system ensures the safety of medical staff and nurses by reducing the risk of getting infected. 3. PROPOSED SYSTEM Our robot may be a basic illustration of the spider movements however it'll not perform precisely the same body moves since we have a tendency to victimization solely four legs rather than eight legs. Named conjointly a Quadruped robot since it's four legs and build its movements victimization these legs, the movement of every leg is expounded to the opposite legs so as to spot the robot body position and conjointly to manage the robot body stability. https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJARET 148 [email protected] Anita Chaudhari, Jeet Thakur and Pratiksha Mhatre three-legged robots handle piece of ground higher than their wheeled counterparts and move in varied and philosophy ways that. However, this makes three-legged robots additional sophisticated, and fewer accessible to several manufacturers. and also, the creating value and also the high defense’s that a maker ought to pay so as to make a full body quadruped since it's supported servo motors or stepper motors and each are dearer than DC motors that would be utilized in wheeled robots. The primary objective of the system is that it can help the covid patients to deliver their medicine to them safely. So, the user doesn’t have to come in contact with infected patients and they may not get infected by the disease by coming in contact with the patient and the patient will also be able to get their medicine on time. With help of Quadruped robot, we have proposed in this paper, the robot basically will deliver the medicines to the particular patients and the movement of the robot will be controlled by the help of android application. The authority to access the application will only be given to the medical staff, doctor, nurses who will have the right to prescribe the medicines to the infected patients 4. METHODOLOGY In our research we are proposing robot, to cater current needs of covid-19 situation. We had proposed solution with minimum cost by considering few sensors and Arduino board. To control robot, android application is developed, through that application we will trace robot and deliver medicine to patient in hospital. We are also maintaining record in database about. which medicine is delivered to which patient and what time? So doctor will also monitor doses of patients about medicine. Algorithm 1. Initially set all motors off. 2. Set far and near parameter here we set 6cm. 3. Activate camera and other sensors. 4. Check front distance, if equal to set threshold, then initiate forward, backward action and move method action. 5. Check front distance, front right with far threshold and front left with near threshold, execute turn right action. 6. Check front distance, front left with far threshold and front right with near threshold execute turn left. 7. Check front distance, front right, front left with near threshold then execute backward. 8. Only authenticated users will control our robot from anywhere. https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJARET 149 [email protected] Prototype for Quadruped Robot using IoT to Deliver Medicines and Essentials to Covid-19 Patient Figure 1. Methodology (by considering hardware) Figure 2. Methodology (logical view) As its name defines it, our robot could be a basic illustration of the spider movements however it'll not perform precisely the same body moves since we have a tendency to square measure exploitation solely four spider legs rather than eight legs. Named conjointly a Quadruped robot since it's four legs and create its movements exploitation these legs, the movement of every leg is said to the opposite legs so as to spot the robot body position and conjointly to regulate the robot body stability. Legged robots handle piece of land higher than their wheeled counterparts and move in varied and philosophy ways in which.

  • Android Science - Toward a New Cross-Interdisciplinary Framework
    Android Science - Toward a new cross-interdisciplinary framework - Hiroshi ISHIGURO Department of Adaptive Machine Systems, Osaka University [email protected] 1 Android science Appearance and behavior In the evaluation of interactive robots, the performance measures are sub- jective impression of human subjects who interact with the robot and their unconscious reactions, such as synchronized human behaviors in the interac- tions and eye movements. Obviously, both the appearance and behavior of the robots are important factors in this evaluation. There are many technical reports that compare robots with di®erent behaviors. However nobody has focused on appearance in the previous robotics. There many empirical discussions on very simpli¯ed static robots, say dolls. Designing the robot's appearance, especially to give it a humanoid one, was always a role of the industrial designer. However we con- sider this to be a serious problem for developing and evaluating interactive robots. Appearance and behavior are tightly coupled with both each other and these problems, as the results of evaluation change with appearance. In our previous work, we developed several humanoids for communicating with people [3][4][5], as shown in Figure 1. We empirically know the e®ect of appear- ance is as signi¯cant as behaviors in communication. Human brain functions that recognize people support our empirical knowledge. Android Science To tackle the problem of appearance and behavior, two approaches are nec- essary: one from robotics and the other from cognitive science. The ap- proach from robotics tries to build very humanlike robots based on knowl- edge from cognitive science.

The behavior that would induce human-like feelings after long exposures is difficult to determine, and it often depends on the cultural background of the observers. Therefore, in this study, we generate an acting performance system for the android, in which an android and a human interact in a stage play in the real world. We adopt the theatrical theory called Contemporary Colloquial Theatre Theory to give the android natural behaviors so that audiences can comfortably observe it even after long-minute exposure. A stage play is created and shown in various locations, and the audiences are requested to report their impressions of the stage and their cultural and psychological backgrounds in a self-evaluating questionnaire. Overall analysis indicates that the audience had positive feelings, in terms of attractiveness, towards the android on the stage even after 20 min of exposure.

The vehicle’s original closed source-based control platform is first described. Due to the limitations of the previous infrastructure, modularity and flexibility are identified as the main guidelines for the proposed design. This new design includes hardware, firmware, software, and control architectures. Open-source hardware and software platforms are used for the development of the new system’s architecture, with support from the literature and the extensive experience acquired with the development of robotic exploration systems. This modular approach results in several frameworks that facilitate the functional expansion of the whole solution, the simplification of fault diagnosis and repair processes, and the reduction of development time, to mention a few.
