# Hypobot
In the UK alone in 2015, 1182 paramedics were called to treat hypoglycaemic attacks [1],
one of the most common complications of diabetes, which affects 422 million people
world wide [2]. Advanced age increases the risk of these attacks, which are more likely to
result in hospitalisation. There is a scarce number of robotic-based solutions that aim to
solve problems faced by Diabetics; those that do exist are mainly invasive or proactive in
nature but do not eradicate the problem of hypoglycaemic attacks. This dissertation
introduces a reactive solution, HypoBot; a system that integrates multiple mobile robots to
deliver a self-administrable medical payload to an individual suffering from a
hypoglycaemic attack. The aim of this solution is to not only aid in an individual's
recovery but to also reduce the stress on caregivers and lower the number of paramedic
call-outs. A proof of concept of the HypoBot system was developed integrating multiple
TurtleBot2’s in simulation. A single mobile robot was integrated into the HypoBot system
on the real hardware and ran successfully. The system is able to respond to mock
hypoglycaemia events by evaluating which robots in the system would be the optimal
choice to deliver the payload directly to the user. Furthermore, the system allows each
robot to manage its own inventory. Multiple best suited approaches to localising a patient,
as found by a critical analysis of potential solutions including a novel end to end
transformer absolute pose regression model, were implemented into the HypoBot system.
Results show that the application of the HypoBot system is feasible provided some
changes are made such as varying the location of the robots base and finding an alternative
method in deciding which event should be attended to first.
