Equipped with cutting-edge embedded systems and intelligent functionalities, each CMR interacts dynamically with its surroundings and with a centralized IoT platform. This architecture facilitates real-time data sharing and collaborative decision-making among robots, fostering an ecosystem of responsive healthcare delivery. The framework’s design incorporates essential layers: a robust physical connectivity layer, a service layer dedicated to efficient data processing, and a comprehensive management dashboard that empowers operators with actionable insights. To ensure reliable communication across various devices and mitigate interoperability, security, and scalability challenges, the framework employs advanced communication protocols such as MQTT. The IoMR prototype encompasses multiple mobile robots coordinated by a central processing unit, focusing on automation and efficiency in critical healthcare tasks. This implementation demonstrates not only resource-efficient processing but also minimal latency in task execution. This pioneering approach optimizes operational efficiency in healthcare environments. By combining autonomous robotics and IoT technology, the IoMR framework represents a significant advancement in healthcare delivery systems, ultimately improving patient outcomes and redefining the future of health services.
