Abstract (EN): The transport of patients from the inpatient service to the operating room is a recurrent task in the hospital routine. This task is repetitive, non-ergonomic, time consuming, and requires the labor of patient transporters. In this paper is presented the design of a driverless wheelchair under development capable of providing an on-demand mobility service to hospitals. The proposed wheelchair can receive transportation requests directly from the hospital information management system, pick-up patients at their beds, navigate autonomously through different floors, avoid obstacles, communicate with elevators, and drop patients off at the designated destination.
