Core clinical engineering and protocols for Shared Autonomy Tele-Drive.
A critical care intensivist cannot devote their mental focus to carefully maneuvering around obstacles: their attention must remain on the septic patient in bed 4. Driving a telepresence robot must be completely safe and effortless.
RobotTelepresence implements shared autonomy algorithms: the remote physician simply points where they want to go, and local LiDAR sensors steer the chassis smoothly around chairs and gurneys. If the doctor steers toward a bed, local safety controllers smoothly override the joystick and stop the vehicle.
