IRA: An Intelligent Automated Robot for Health Monitoring and Interactive Assistance

This paper presents KIRA, an autonomous mobile robot designed for health monitoring and interactive support in industrial and educational environments. KIRA integrates multiple coordinated brushless direct current (BLDC) motors for fluid navigation with a non-contact thermal sensor for real-time health assessment. The system employs a dual-application architecture: one application manages robot mobility and actuation, while the second application provides health status updates, navigation guidance, and institutional information. KIRA monitors body temperature passively without requiring contact, enabling proactive health interventions before critical conditions develop. Field trials demonstrate stable navigation in indoor spaces and consistent sensor reliability over extended operational periods. The system achieves reliable wireless communication between the robot and mobile applications with minimal latency. This work validates the feasibility of intelligent service robots for enhancing workplace safety and operational efficiency in public settings.
