Those who experience the responsibility and the enormous work involved in this care recognizes that all kind of help it's welcomed. The objetive of this paper is to present Nurse-bot as a mechatronics system for taking care of the elderly and sick people. In particular, we refer this device not only as a tool, but with the time and development a true support to the people. It is like-a nurse made robot that monitors vital signs and keeps the information, so that the attending physician has up-to-date parameters before the consultation that allows a better follow-up of the results of the prescribed treatment made by a specialist. A proof-of-concept and the first prototype is presented in this work. Experimental results shows insights that this robot can help people. © 2018 IEEE.enAssistant robotBiomedicalMechatronicsAutomotive engineeringNursingFollow upMechatronics systemsResource Types::text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
