Description
Summary:	Logistic management is crucial for effective and efficient transportation of various items in hospitals. During pandemic situations, especially COVID-19, special in-patient cohort ward is established to treat patients who require special treatment due to the quarantine protocol. Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) is used for delivering food and medical supplies to individual patients in order to keep the physical distance between patients and health workers. In this research, delivery by using multiple AMRs working in the in-patient ward is simulated. The simulation software is developed in Unity platform to study the operations of AMRs in various scenarios.
