Resumen

We developed a graphical interface for an autonomous support robot to assist health personnel with the care of infectious patients, such as those with COVID-19. Using the React Framework, the interface design is in the experimental phase, tested on a real robot. Its main goal is to enable remote motor control and Lidar data visualization, compatible with any Robot Operating System (ROS) setup via ROSbridge, which uses websockets to expose ROS communication channels. The system leverages roslibjs, React, and React Three Fiber, utilizing WebGL and Three.js for smooth web integration. The user interface includes interactive elements for camera feeds, motor control, and Lidar data visualization. This enhances ROS capabilities beyond local networks, fostering new remote robotics applications. The control module is part of a comprehensive system for managing tasks related to patient care.
