Abstract

Robotics in medical field has advanced vastly since many decades ago. Although with our existing technology robots can only assist doctors and not replace them. Therefore an Internet Controlled Non-Interventional Mobile Robot for Orthopaedic Surgeon or simply OTOROB is developed to aid Orthopaedic Surgeons to diagnose patients in remote places where specialists are unavailable and internet bandwidth is low. In this paper, a design methodology to transmit video for controlling OTOROB in low bandwidth condition is presented. The design uses video compression scaling and scheduling to improve bandwidth usage efficiency. A more stable video transmission for controlling the OTOROB is achieved by maintaining the frame rate in spite of low bandwidth connection.
