Surfaces contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 pose a grave threat to the safety of staff and patients. To minimize the risks for their staff, hospitals are utilizing disinfection robots to sanitize surfaces.
Thai hospitals are deploying "ninja robots" to measure fevers and protect the health of overburdened medical workers on the frontlines of the outbreak.
Researchers have developed a smart functional robot that realized simultaneous disinfection of both air and object surface.
Researchers have designed a telepresence robot that enables people suffering from COVID-19 to talk to their loved ones.
In this third part of our ongoing series, we present eight additional systems that are currently being deployed to decontaminate and sanitize surfaces.
Dr Jan Stallkamp has a vision: robots that can treat patients more efficiently and more precisely than any human physician.
The following seven robotic systems are either currently being deployed or developed for the fight against the coronavirus.
Research from the University of Plymouth suggests that robot pets could pose an infection risk if passed between staff and service users without cleaning.
A new robotic system allows medical staff to remotely operate ventilators and other bedside machines from outside intensive care rooms of patients suffering from infectious diseases.
A robot is helping maximize the life of some of the most critical personal protective equipment, or PPE, at a time when the surge of demand for such items has aggravated a national shortage.
“UVD Robot” by Blue Ocean Robotics drives autonomously and eliminates bacteria and other harmful microorganisms on all contact surfaces in hospitals.
