Abstract
This paper describes several concept and development steps of mobile robots towards application in the health care and medical field. First, a basic concept of the Mobile Robot Application Platform (MORAP) will be defined. Based on this basic concept, a “ real” platform has been realised, consisting of various technologies addressing different aspects of application based requirements. The relevant results are composed into an experimental environment. All the components will be described as well as the integration of the selected systems. The potential use of MORAP in health care and medical tasks is presented as well as the current work undertaken with the platform so far.
