Hospital Lab Specimen Routing System
Design an automated system for routing medical specimens (blood, tissue) through a large hospital via pneumatic tubes and autonomous robots. The system must decide the optimal route based on specimen urgency, current equipment congestion, and maintenance status of routes. It must handle different transport types (tube vs robot) which have different constraints (weight, temperature control). Provide a design that allows adding new transport methods and routing algorithms without modifying the core logic.
