    Annotation This paper describes a design and an implementation of a small-scale robotic transportation system, which operates in a smart hospital environment. Within a proposed framework unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) perform transportation tasks between multiple stations that are located in different rooms. The UGVs navigate in the environment with moving objects in accordance with basic traffic rules, which consider priorities of particular tasks of each UGV. UGVs' behavior is defined by a state machine and transitions between these states, which allows to make the robots' behavior more predictable and controllable. Virtual experiments were carried out in a simulation of an entire floor of a small-size hospital building using the Gazebo simulator. The experiments confirmed that using various task priorities shorten a path length of robots with high priorities and thus reduce their task execution time.
