Abstract Medical robotics has shown a significant uprising in the era of COVID 19 global pandemic. With the medical and paramedical staff being in the frontline of this deadly virus it is really important disseminate simpler technologies integrated together to protect them and provide nascent solutions to the problem of contact risk in hospitals. In this paper we have proposed and designed a Hexafunctional Autonomous Robotic Cart (HARC) for covid and isolation wards. The design with its simplicity, durability and cost effectiveness offer a great aid to the healthcare system in not only maintaining social distancing and minimising contact risk but also diagnosing the health of patient and establishing active communication with the concerneddoctor.
