The objective of this project is to conceptualize and design an autonomous medial retrieval robot that would be deployed from an ambulance and retrieve a patient. The design of the retrieval robot is modeled to look similar to a modern stretcher. The Automatic Stretcher is able to retrieve an unconscious patient that is 6’-2” and 270 lbs. By using various tubes, motors, and gear systems, the robot is able to easily go under the patient and move them easily and without worry of any additional pain or injuries.
