A repo to share resources related to configurations for hospital applications.

Mobile robots can help keep healthcare workers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic by separating them from patients, minimizing the number of in-person interactions required during a course of treatment, and by reducing overall consumption of personal protective equipment. Boston Dynamics has been working with healthcare organizations to model and test the use of mobile robots in the following applications:

1. Telepresence and telemedicine
2. Remote vital inspection
3. Disinfecting hospital rooms
4. Internal delivery
