36th Florida Conference on Recent Advances in Robotics
In this study, we present a human temperature measurement case implementation for hospital patients using a mobile robotic platform (PR2). The main focus of the study is to apply computer vision methods, specifically optical character recognition (OCR) with template matching, in order to read a non-contact thermometer screen while PR2 is measuring patient's temperature. Parameter analysis is done for thermometer digit detection, and parameters with best results are selected for human tests. The tests are designed including human subjects as patients, a tablet for human-robot interaction (HRI), and the PR2 robot. Human subject test are performed with 8 volunteers over …
