Description
DR ROBOT MEDICAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ROBOTIC ARRANGEMENT
Description of the Invention
Technical Field of Invention
This invention relates to the implementation of robots, artificial intelligence, manipulators, and UAVs in compact clinical arrangement for medical services.
Background Art
Medical diagnosis is used to know the disease or condition explaining a person’s symptoms with the information collected from the person or his medical history and simple to highly complicated physical examinations, diagnostic tests, laboratory diagnosing, radiology diagnosis, principal diagnosis, during a visit or many visits, or even visiting many clinics, medical centers and hospitals inside a country or countries. In many cases the symptoms are either missleading or indicating many disorders, variable pieces of collected information should be correlated via differential diagnosis to explain or understand the medical case.
The capabilities either of the healthcare professionals, healthcare scientists, physicians, nurse practitioners, technical staff or the quality of the tools and devices, or the medical service, are slightly to extremely different in-between the countries, cities in the same countrey, hospitals or even inside the same medical unit. Meanwhile, People from same residence, building, company, family, tribe or compound are visiting different clinics or hospitals...
So, there are many complicated variables, different factors and criteria that make the whole process scattered and relatively poorly correlated at least from artificial intelligence (Al) point of view. As example differential diagnosis which is based on finding many candidate diseases or conditions that can possibly cause the signs or symptoms followed by a process of elimination of the less probable entries...until reaching one candidate disease or condition is sometimes long, boring and expensive process depending on human capability and manual handling in many aspects. Based on these, a sick person who is capable to search for best services may be trapped in-between the differences,
data, diagnosis, history, files, judges, tests, medicines, recommendations and missed family history..etc, while the poor or unaware person may be limited to a specific number of choices, with no chance to upgrade the level of the service which he is receiving.
Diagnostic robots were developed in the 1970s in the form of a physical robot or a software expert system, IBM announced on 2013 Watson software system. A medical automatic diagnosis equipment induing robot arm for inspecting samples is disclosed in patent No.: KR100759079 B1 , and a meical endoscopic instrument for connection with robot is disclosed in: DE102013204677A1. From another side, Al systems are winning the competitions with specialists, for example Al neural networks can see patterns which humans can not see in tumor patterns. Efforts are spent to pump data into Al system with information of the most accurate details of diseases, as well as data on the pathology of the patient, a method for medical diagnosis utilizing PDA software Robots is disclosed in US patent application No.: US20110124975A1.
Medical manipulators are introduced in the art too, wherein a surgeon using a remote tele-manipulator do certain movements to move the robot associated with surgery. In computer-controlled systems, the surgeon uses a computer to control the robotic arms and its end effectors, though these systems can also still use tele-manipulators for their input, but in-computer controlled robotic systems, the surgeon can do surgery from anywhere in the world, while controlling a specific robot inside a surgery room, a medical robot system for surgeries is disclosed in PCT patent appl. No.: WO/2016/142050 A8. A western medicine robot doctor for obtaining direct images of the patient face and body plus hearing his voice is disclosed in patent application No.: CN201711497223A.
Non of the prior art is disclosing a robot using his fingers and hands as devices for medical diagnosis, nor depending on UAVs or Al arrangements which is the objective of this invention, like what machines did in the past, doctor robots can replace even the high skilled persons in the near future supported by the developments of Al and internet of things, wherein medical studies, jobs and service may be replaced and driven with Drobotic Al medical engineering.

Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention:
In order to make it easy to carry out the invention, a detailed description of the parts of the invention supported with figures is provided here, wherein the the main parts are arranged sequentially, according to the importance of the part, it is made easy to read, by referring to each feature with a number included in the parts description text and in the parts numbering list, the numbering of parts features is indicated here by starting it sequentially from number 20, whenever a part feature appears in text, it will be directly assigned its required serial number. As example in FIG. 1 , the features are arranged sequentially from number 20 to 21, 22, 23...But, excluded from these the artificial medical clinic (Drobotic unit) which is assigned number 60, this refers to both land or flying Artificial medical clinic (robotic unit). Also, Drobot will be the abbreviation for Dr. robot, while Drobotics is the abbreviation for the devices and tools related to the Drobot. Drobot (drone- robot) can be used too as an abbreviation to refer for any combination of a drone robot arrangement.
The Artificial medical clinic (robotic unit) 60 main unit is the Drobot 20. The Drobot’s 20 main featured parts are composed of his first right hand 21 , compartment set 22, first left hand 23, second lower right hand 24, second lower left hand 25 and the smart display screen 26 (Figures 1 , 5, 7).
The right-hand 21 traditional fingers are replaced with any set of customized compacted devices to carry out specific diagnostic tasks in addition to other urgent jobs such as providing injections and collecting blood samples (Figures 1 , 2, 3). As a result, one proposed anthropomorphic fingered device set includes: gel provider tube 27, injection 28, ultrasound transducer 29, rod ended with light and camera 30, blood sample tube (syringe) 31, while at the middle of the hand palm an X-ray camera 32 is installed.
The right-hand 21 of the Drobot 20 can be customized with more or less devices, the devices/tools can be retractable/storable inside a pocket 33 (Figure 2) when not in use and one or more is expandable when in use, or bendable (foldable) like in Figure 4 such that the fingered device or tool which is in use is on expandable configuration, while the gel tubes 27, injections 28, and syringes 31 are replaceable autonomously, wherein according to the medical CPU
(central processing unit) 34, orders are sent to the DME (Digital motor electronics) 35 to move the motorized left hand 23 to remove the used gel tube 27, injection 28, or syringe 31 from the right-hand 21 , put it aside in the specified compartment and picks-up a new one, then installs it in the specific location of the right-hand 21.
The compartment set 22 is divided and structured according to demand and number of required compartments, a basic set is made from four compartments, a first compartment 36 for the emergency injections 28, a second compartment 37 for the blood samples 31, a third compartment 38 for emergency tablets or drug bottle samples, a forth compartment 39 for spare material accessories such as gel tubes 27, ultrasound transducers 29, thermometers 40, wounds antiseptic, bandages, adhesives ...etc (Figure 3).
While the first left-hand 23 palm, grasp and finger-tips are used for skin like sensors for tactile perception, sensing abdominal sounds, heartbeat rate, patient temperature..., the second lower right hand 24 is added as an option for extra tasks (Figure 5), such as measuring blood pressure and holding or supporting the patient body or human organs to assist the other hands to carry out their tasks over the patient body, this hand and the others are provided with all necessary devices and meters to assist in locating the position and location of a human organ and the coordinates of a specific point over it, they are provided with attitude meter 41, magnetometer 42, (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS set) 43... and measuring angular speed, tilt angle, yaw angle, pitch angle... these are processed via algorithms in the CPU 34 to specify the specific points on a human body, and then to compare it with the set images for such organs which are scanned via the Drobot eyed cameras 44, to know where to diagnose, and to do a semi-naked eye visual test for the organs, urine... etc, and to spread gel, pass the transducer, drawing blood sample, injecting drug...
The left lower hand 25 is used mainly for wrapping adhesive around the bandages which are installed on wounds via the assistance of the first left 23 and second right hands 24, many traditional mechanisms can be adopted and accustomed in the left lower hand 25.
One of the Drobot 20 eyed cameras 44 is of Computer vision camera type, it is processing the 3D images of the patient repeatedly with each movement to build up his body 3D image, these are carried out according to algorithms receiving data from the cameras an sensors.
The solid screen 45 is stored inside a grooved compartment 46 under the main compartment set 22. If the Drobot 20 finds that it needs to make an X-ray image for a patient back, it will instruct the patient verbally to stand in-between his hands with his back facing drobot’s extended right hand 23, then the Drobot 20 scans the positioning of the patient, when he is set right, the Drobot 20 uses his first left hand 23 to pull out the solid screen 45, raises it vertically up to face the chest of the patient, and with his right hand palm X-ray camera 32, starts imaging the back of the patient (Figure 6).
The display screen 26 is used for demonstration and clarification of the Drobot 20 instructions, explanations, clarifications...for the patient, either for educational means, or for images picked-up already by the Drobot 20 for the patient. Figure 7 shows anatomy of a right foot displayed by the Drobot 20 over its display screen 26.
So, the Drobot should use one eye with computerize eyed vision 44 and another infrared eye 47, ears 48, nose 49 and mouth 50 for seeing, hearing, smelling, talking successively, to assist him in visualization, talking and communication, these tools in addition to all other meters, sensors, control units devices and organs of the Drobot 20 should be harmonized to work together, some issues are already solved via the available conventional Al and mechanisms in the art, while the others are divided here into two parts: a- the mathematical part; wherein algorithms are to be build-up to govern the capability of locating the coordinates of each specific spot or point on the patient body, and to compare and instantly adjust the location and movement of the concerned part of the Drobot 20 to make it easy to engage with the organ spot in the proper required way. B- A highly complicated structured method of training to be carried out for the Drobot 20 in stages; wherein after passing each stage, a version of the robot is introduced, first to be assisting nurses, second to replace nurse practitioners, third to assists diagnostic physicians, forth to replace some
diagnostic physicians, fifth to be located everywhere inside compounds or big residential buildings, sixth to visit people inside their residence, seventh to join flying ambulance capsule 51.
The training of the Drobot 20 and program updating via the trainers are not the only resource of exported human knowledge data and actuation, but many self- educative parameters are activated via the Drobot 20 intelligent learning system (ILS) 52 which is depending machine learning algorithms technologies (MLAT), Intelligent perception system (IPS) 53, experience and knowledge system (EKS) 54, health evaluation and failsafe system (HEFS) 55, search server advice system (SSAS) 56, observability vision and cognitive system (OVCS) 57, intuition, inspiration and innovation system (MIS) 58, mission decision making system (MDMS) 59... wherein these systems are already set to think intelligently and act independently beyond the human training and updated program instructions, Drobots 20 are doing that based on their internal built-in Al programs and systems which collect data, case by case via their sensors, meters, cameras... etc. Figure 8 is demonstrating a block diagram for the structure of the Drobot 20 data input sensors..., to the intelligent systems, and output actuators.
Up to here, the parts and tasks of the Drobot 20 are clarified, as a result, in the seventh version of a Drobot, the following set-ups can be established to make the Drobot 20 fully independent for following a diagnostic criteria to collect symptoms, gather signs, communicate, and take correct decision, wherein a method or methods of tasks can be carried out, results can be harvested in the shape of:
a- Drobots 20 distributed everywhere where there are human communities, such as buildings, towers, towns, villages, markets, companies, factories, trains, aircrafts, ships... etc.
b- A Drobotic unit (Al medical unit or Al clinic) 60 is established in each of these facilities provided with twin Drobots, one is settled in the unit to receive unhealthy visitors, while the other is visiting unhealthy persons
who are uncapable to attend the unit or who will pay the expenses of the visit charges.
c- The Drobotic unit (Al medical unit) 60 is equipped with an autonomous blood test lab 61 , that receives the blood samples from the Drobot 20 hands, assign them reference numbers and autonomously do the tests, share the blood test panel results with the sub-server 62 of the Drobotic unit 60, which study, and do analysis for them, discuss the results and take advice from the city local server 63 if necessary, and pass the results and decisions to the Drobot 20, who shares them with the patient via an application, and assign another visit or appointment for him according to his schedule to discuss the results and decide what is next
d- The Drobotic unit 60 provides the Drobot 20 with the electrical charging, accessories, and all autonomous services,
e- The sub-server 62 of the Drobotic unit 60 is the communication connection center in-between the twin Drobots 20 and the local data server 63 of the town, city... etc.
f- If a Drobot 20 faces a problem, either related to a patient difficult case, or a failure in the Drobot 20 itself, the Drobotic unit 60 searches advice either from the nearby data servers, or assistance from the 2nd Drobot 20 which is based in the unit 60 or from a nearby Al logistics centers g- Doing computer-aided detections (CADe): such that it is sharing directly or indirectly in the radiological and pathology image processing and interpretation of medical images: X-ray images or ultrasound digital images produced by the Drobot 20, which are studied and analyzed in the same by the Al medical unit sub-server 62, highlights the conspicuous sections, such as possible diseases, and share with the Drobot 20 to take a decision and share them with the patient... Meanwhile recommending and scheduling appointments with hospitals or external imaging centers, receiving the images from external imaging such as MRI or from a radiologist, and doing interpretation in the same to determine via its algorithm techniques the case... discussing the results with the external
radiologist to get his final decision, transferring the patient when required to a hospital through autonomous appointment system,
h- The Drobotic unit 60 is provided with adjustable hand grip and collapsible leg stand 64 for holding firmly the hand of the patient at the suitable adjustable level and height (Figure 9), it is also supplied with the same tool but for the foot/leg of the patient (adjustable foot grip and collapsible leg 65 stand), such that over these tools the patient should lay his hand, arm, foot, leg. In the same other compact collapsible tools can be provided inside the capsule 63 for laying the patient head, body... etc on them, such that it can stay standstill, while the Drobot 20 is doing diagnosis, scanning a vein for drawing blood, injecting an injection, putting gel oh a specific body part to do ultrasound imaging...
i- The visitor Drobot 20 is capable to do home visits anytime, but for safety by riding a sterilized sealed motorized-wheel capsule 66 (Figure 10). This capsule 66 is provided with some adjustable hand grip and collapsible leg stands for the job as explained already,
j- The limited injections, tablets, and drugs which are provided with the Drobot 20 are related to serious diseases such as heart attacks, poisons such as food poison or snake bite... wherein the time is playing a crucial role in saving the life of a person.
k- After the visitor Drobot 20 issues the prescription to the patient, he can either collect the medicine from the Drobotic unit pharmacy or select to receive it home via a motorized autonomous deliver means from the pharmacy, things are arranged via the Drobot 20.
I- An automatic telephone exchange 67 is built-in inside the Drobot 20, wherein the Drobot 20 even while being busy with a patient can do many communications at the same time anytime from anywhere with his patients or with the Al clinic 60 all simultaneously,
m- Multiple choices are offered by the Drobot 20 to the patient either verbally or by texting... these include but not limited to: Sending a medical report to the employer or a certified examination results to an authority or medical file history to a specific Drobotic unit 60 nationally or
internationally, scheduling next visit, to get permitted statistics about his disease similar case in the building, city, country or the world, so it is assisting in doing autonomous screening for specific diseases to know best practices shared by other patients who shared their experiences starting from the same building...ending with worldwide (some charges may be applied).
n- The Drobotic unit 60 is provided with nursery Drobots 68, who assist the Drobots 20, do cleaning, ...etc.
o- Drobots 20 themselves are capable to think and decide, study and analyze, watch and learn, build-up humanitarian relations with the humans, prepare schedules, do studies, researches, search for valuable data through the servers, and share in Drobotic communities, send their articles and researches about their local patients to be reviewed, published and shared in-between them and the professional persons who are searching for best practices and innovations.
As a result, the Drobot 20 is expected to be intelligently capable to carry out all kinds of diagnosis such as: differential diagnosis, diagnosis of exclusion, dual diagnosis, remote diagnosis, nursing diagnosis, computer-aided diagnosis...etc, wherein these with the upper mentioned methods of operation are to be technically productive via the following effects and results:
a- The persons who got lazy, delayed, busy, hesitated, away from visiting the physician or even may be relatively untrusting him, will find a Drobot 20 under their demand, anytime, and anywhere, in their flat, building entrance, office, company... etc (care to be considered regarding the purity of the place when collecting blood samples, or else the patient can pass by the Drobotic unit 60 lab which is available nearly everywhere nearby. The result of this is a booming preventive medical care, fix it right from the first time.
b- No more spending on the infrastructure of new traditional hospitals, because the accommodations built-in Drobotic units 50, work to save a lot of space in the current hospitals to be specified for the complicated
diagnosing and surgeries which requires physicians and medical staff to work altogether beside the robotic equipment. Meanwhile, all hospital patient’s data will be pumped inside the local server 63 and sub-server 62 of the district and building from which the patient comes.
c- Persons from same building, village, compound, district, tribe, village will refer to same Drobots 20 or nearby local Drobotic units 60, that means it is so easy to collect a unique data base of medical history, which comes back with huge recommendations with regard to health, environment, medicine types... etc.
d- What is mentioned in point b expands and applies on all cities, provinces, countries and even the world itself, wherein a unique and united medical history for all the humanity is structured like a genetic map, finally united world medical history map (WMHP) 69 is available. These will considerably result in extending the humans expected survival.
e- Inside the IA units 60, there will be no different levels of physicians as it is currently happening, no variety of specializations, that is because the same single Drobot 20 can meet and diagnose psychopath, instruct and describe the medicine, then meet a skin patient, take images for his defected skin, compare it with his worldwide database and recommend the treatment, then to meet a person complaining from his abdomen lever side, make for him by himself an ultrasound and blood test, look inside the throat of another patient using the light and camera, take images, compare, prescribe and recommend the proper medicine, make a radiology X-ray image for a broken hand by himself as a radiologist... etc... ect, Multiple specializations all in one.
f- So, there is no need to travel to another city or country for other better diagnosis as everything will be in-hand and under demand, with the same level of diagnosis, the internet of things will make the diagnosing equal, as the open source diagnostic data from the world server is provided, communicated, and discussed autonomously online with every local server 63, sub-server 62, and single Drobot 20 anywhere and anytime. Of
course highly complicated medical issues are communicated through the standstill hospitals, even with time it will decrease dramatically
g- Drobots 20 will not fly away at wars, earthquakes, chemical pollution, floods, who stays not defected will stay working in condition that electricity and internet is available, at these cases they can be a key tool for screening and testing the microbes spread in-between people to provide statistics about the focal points of microbes spread
h- Whenever, wherever you call them they answer, ask questions, share your observations, photos or recordings for your gait, skin, voice... etc. They receive instantly, then process directly and reply, you will never find them busy, in breaktime, lunchbreak, sleeping, on-leave, off, absent, sick, holiday, laying, business leave, sick-leave, terminated, fired, bad mode, jealous, in a hurry, annoyed, touched, sad, forgot, missed...etc. It stays awake watching calls from its patients, or any symptoms of serius case for those who are connected to medical devices, anywhere and anytime...no schedules...working 24/7...direct diagnosis...
i- If somebody is getting a heart attack, brain stroke... etc, they can be nearby him within a minute to 5 minutes and provide the required injections or tablets, this will decrease the morality resulting from that dramatically.
j- Drobots (20) can educate the patient about the etiology, progression, prognosis, other outcomes, and possible treatments of her or his ailments, as well as of providing advice to maintain his health... treatment plan may include therapy and follow-up consultations and tests to monitor the condition and the progress of the treatment,
k- Insurance companies’ complications related to physician bills; level differences will be considerably minimized.
I- Economically, the mass production of them, the time of incubating them and the mass use of them with their superiority over many medical professions, will make their values cheaper than the money and years of time spent to educate a physician, train him, and paying him a high salary too, the Drobots 20 salary is battery charging and periodic service, they
can even do robot to robot training. That does not mean a profession will be lost, a Drobotic or Al medical engineering profession will appear to support developing, manufacturing, selling, installing the Drobotic units or ready autonomous doctors with huge memory and multiple skills.
m- Rented or bought Drobots 20 can be provided to join camps, convoys, private jets, or to be permanently resident or intermittently or periodically visiting some people upon their demand.
