Using sensor-based features, the robot can read the body temperature of patients, and transmit it for display on a mobile phone.It is also capable of raising an alarm in case of any abnormally high body temperature readings to alert medics attending to the patients.The R-BOT is equipped with a real-time video camera that has pan & tilt functions. The robot also performs as a two-way audio and video communication with recording facility, helping in a smooth interaction between patients and doctors.It uses infra-red technology with emergency night lamp & night vision to enable communication even in complete darkness. It can circumvent any foreign objects in its path with the help of inbuilt observation avoidance sensors.Moving at a speed of 1 kmph and a load-carrying capacity of 80 kg, the R-Bot is capable of continuously functioning for six hours on a single charge of battery.SCR officials said that plans are afoot to further innovate and develop the R-BOT, in terms of optimal functional efficiency, which can lead to more widespread use of the device at the medical facilities in the railway zone.( With inputs from IANS )
