Scenario: You work as an apprentice in a company that specialises in implementing

autonomous mobile robot applications in care homes. Your supervisor has asked you to

develop an autonomous mobile robot to complete an activity as defined below:

Introduction: The company specializes in the development of autonomous mobile

robots for various industries. They are pleased to present their proposal for the use

of autonomous mobile robots in care homes.

Problem: Care homes often struggle with staff shortages, which can impact the

quality of care provided to residents. Additionally, the COVID$-19$ pandemic has

highlighted the need for contactless delivery of goods and services to minimize the

risk of infection transmission. These challenges have created a need for a solution

that can assist staff and provide residents with necessary services without human

contact.

Solution: The company$$s proposal is to implement autonomous mobile robots in

care homes to assist staff and provide residents with necessary services. The robots

can be programmed to perform a variety of tasks, including:

$1.$ Delivery of meals, medication, and other supplies to residents' rooms

without the need for human contact.

$2.$ Provide cleaning services to residents' rooms

$3.$ Monitoring of residents' vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart

rate, and alerting staff if there are any abnormalities.

$4.$ Providing companionship to residents, such as through conversation or

playing games.

Benefits: The implementation of autonomous mobile robots in care homes can

provide numerous benefits, including:

$1.$ Improved quality of care for residents, as the robots can provide timely

and accurate services without human error.

$2.$ Increased efficiency and productivity, as the robots can perform tasks

quickly and without the need for breaks or rest.

$3.$ Reduced risk of infection transmission, as the robots can deliver goods

and services without human contact.

$4.$ Improved staff satisfaction, as the robots can assist with tasks and

alleviate some of the workload.

Conclusion: The company believe that the implementation of autonomous mobile

robots in care homes can provide a valuable solution to the challenges faced by care

homes. Therefore, the company has requested a prototype autonomous mobile

robot that will, as a minimum:

A$.$ Detect obstacles and autonomous navigate around them.

B$.$ Autonomous navigate safety from one location to another within a room.

C$.$ Autonomous navigate safety back to the base station or charging station.

In developing the prototype system, you should consider enhanced user experiences

and how it would deal with any unexpected events that may occur

Produce a specification for the activity $-$ this must include

the purpose, usability and performance requirements for

the AMR, plus any relevant details about additional control

hardware$/$circuitry$.$

$$ Generate a design for a control program to complete the

activity $-$ the high level program solution, for example

using a flowchart and$/$or pseudocode, must show the key

areas of functionality $($inputs$,$ outputs and processes$)$ and

how they link together with explanatory commentary.

$$ Build and program an AMR safely to complete the activity

safely, successfully and efficiently using a microcontroller

or microprocessor and at least two input and two output

devices $-$ the control program must contain a range of

well structured programming constructs and techniques

that are appropriate for the activity and have been set$-$up

correctly, and a suitable algorithm to control locomotion.

$$ Annotate the control program appropriately to explain

how the program works so it is easy to interpret.

$$ Test the AMR throughout the development process and

compare the functionality of it against the purpose,

usability and performance requirements and record the

outcomes of the tests $-$ ensure that you correct any

hardware and software faults identified and make any

hardware and$/$or software changes that will improve the

performance of the robot, and then update your

specification accordingly. Please Please Include these subheading and DESCRIBE USING THE BRIEF TO CRETE A SPECIFICATION FOR IT
