SOC-O-MEDIC is a proposed robot that would diagnose and transport injured soccer players off the field to reduce disruption to games. It would use a wireless camera for on-site injury diagnosis and a series of conveyor belts to pick up and carry immobile players to a safety carriage and stretcher. The robot aims to provide faster medical assistance while recording injury details to minimize time lost from games, especially during high-risk periods in the first and last 15 minutes. It would require a wireless camera, conveyor belt system, stretcher, and injury recording form to function.
