Robotics to fight against the pandemic COVID-19

To combat the spread of COVID-19, Health workers in some countries with the help of robots are trying to destroy the virus. With the help of these sophisticated Robots, doctors can analyze the diagnosis of patients in remote areas while being in their hospital itself. Through their use, further medical services can also be provided.

Hyderabad: As the world war on COVID-19 is currently going on, Health workers in some countries are using Robots to prevent the spread of the virus. Given below are the details of such special Robots:

Ultra-Violet Rays to incinerate virus on surfaces:

Known as the virus-zipping Robot, this machine works its way into the rooms of the hospital. From this point onwards, ultraviolet light emits from time to time to destroy the virus on any of the hospital’s surfaces.

Robots that help in Tele Medicine through 5G

With the help of these sophisticated Robots, doctors can analyze the diagnosis of patients in remote areas while being in their hospital itself. Through their use, further medical services can also be provided.

A Robotic Helping Hand

A Robot Helping Hand was manufactured by Xinhua University in Beijing, the capital of China. The patient is led into and lied down on the bed, while this Robotic-arm performs tasks like collecting stained swabs from his mouth and performing ultrasound scanning. The doctors then analyze the information and determine the treatment for the patient.

Robot as a Patrolling Friend

This Robot was manufactured by the Chinese company, Cloud Minds. This Robot helps in tracking the temperature of visitors to the hospital, helps to identify them and also helps to clean the areas where the patients have moved around.

Experiments in Progress in India too

Experiments in India have been initiated in India too, to put Robotic technology to use in the cleaning of hospitals, providing medicines to patients, supplying food and recording the body temperature of the suspected personnel/patients..

• In the city of Jaipur, which is the capital of Rajasthan, the staff of Swami Man Singh Hospital have started the use of Robots for tasks such as providing medicines and food to the affected patients at regular intervals, to the COVID-19 patients undergoing treatment at their hospital.
• Kerala startup organization, Asimov Robotics has made a three-wheeled Robot to assist the COVID-19 patients placed in the isolation wards of the hospitals.
