Abstract:

Today, pandemic diseases like Covid-19 affect the entire world rapidly, and due to this, the significance of the devoted work of healthcare professionals worldwide has emerged while it has cost the lives of a huge number of individuals around the world. In the study, so as to share workload of healthcare professionals, in the process, medical assistant machines were analyzed as support staff. The developed medical assistant robotic arm is extremely important especially within the pandemic process in terms of sharing burden of healthcare professionals. It is an extremely important feature that the developed robot arm is open source and its joints can be adjusted based on the model. The fact that the robot arm is open source is extremely important in terms of the issues that may emerge from copyrights. The robot arm has features appropriate for use in industrial dimensions with professional features. The robot arm utilized in the study is printed with a 3D printer and also the robot arm is articulated with 5 degrees of freedom (5 DoF). The fact that it can be printed from a 3D printer provides significant cost savings for such professional robot arms. Kinematic analysis is significant regarding determining and controlling the working space of the robot arm. In this study, forward kinematic analysis was done with deep learning for determination of working space and accessible points.
