Under the circumstance of COVID-19 epidemic spread, global medical resources are in serious shortage. As a common way of care for respiratory diseases, although back-slap sputum excretion can be used for the care of lung diseases, but it requires the cooperation of multiple medical staff, and lead to inefficient care. This paper designed a method of the human” s back feature recognition based on YOLOv5, and built a new type of intelligent robot for back-slap sputum excretion on this basis, which can assist care staff to complete the back-slap sputum excretion care for patients, and reduce the labor intensity of staff and the risk of cross infection.
