Abstrakt: In this paper, the Advaya Bot - Radiologist assistant robot development & its usage in healthcare applications is presented. The final year project under-taken by us consists of the designing & developing of a bot that can assist healthcare professionals, specifically in the Department of Radiology. It is a growing concern among the community of radiologists that radiation exposure, even under protocol scenarios, is causing harm to them in the form of cancers, tumors, cataracts, dry eye syndrome, etc. Also, in departments like that of Ultra Sonography imaging, the manual use of a transducer is something not looked forward to by the patients. We aim to build a bot that can reduce radiation exposure, workload, and uncomfortable interactions for the doctors in the department of radiology imaging. The use of such bots is strictly domain specific. For the purpose of our final project, we have chosen the domain to be that of Ultrasonography (USG). We aim at eliminating the manual use of the transducer and replacing it with a bot. The bot shall be capable of greeting the patient and adjusting the location of the end-effector with the help of a radiologist or specialist from a distance. The end edge of the bot will also be capable of placing the transducer with the required pressure on the required area of the patient's body. In developing countries like India, the ratio of doctors to the number of patients is very low. We aim to unburden healthcare professionals and free them from harmful working conditions.
