Re: Student Project for an Autonomous Bed Mover

Safety First!
Put bumpers on the robot/bed so it doesn't run over patient's in the hallway.
Use indirect and contact sensors to stop the bed.
(check out industrial robots)

Is the robot going to tow or push the bed? (beds would need their own wheels)

If riding an elevator is needed; can the robot fit under the bed to save space?
