Mobile service robots for the operating room wing: balancing cost and performance by optimizing robotic fleet size and composition

1

The shortage of healthcare personnel significantly impacts operating room wings, limiting patient admissions and weakening surgical clinic revenues.
2

Mobile robotic assistance systems can alleviate the workload of healthcare staff by performing repetitive tasks, improving work ergonomics.
3

The AURORA project aims to design a robotic circulating nurse to optimize task execution in non-sterile areas of the operating room.
4

Simulation studies are conducted to determine optimal fleet sizes and compositions for mobile robots in the operating room environment.
5

The research highlights the need for tailored robotic solutions that meet the unique requirements of operating room workflows.
