Abstract

Healthcare robot technology is one of the emerging issues in the field of robotics, and not only researchers are working in the field of Humanoid but also many companies and institutes have develop Humanoids. The humanoid on healthcare has abilities to support physical and mental health which pertain to functions and interaction with a person. This paper presents an overview towards building an agent based humanoid that will work for the purpose of improving healthcare processes using a system called Robot Healthcare Management System. This paper highlights upon, a healthcare system with a humanoid by using speech, gesture, and emotions. This paper begins with the Introduction and the need of the system in Sect. 1. The Sect. 2 explores the literature relevant to research area. Further this paper discusses the motivation of research and its objectives in Sects. 3 and 4 respectively. The next section highlights upon the role, multi-agent architecture and the functionality of agent engine. At the last paper explores the research methodology and finally concludes.
