Coronavirus: Robots wage a war against outbreak in hospitals

Robots join in the battle against the deadly coronavirus outbreak in China.

Robots carry out tasks such as disinfection, taking temperatures, delivering food and medicine, relieving the hospitals’ staff amid the outbreak and reducing the risk of infection.

Automatic disinfection and purification can be done inside the robot’s carrying case. But its outside shell must be disinfected by humans and they do require maintenance.
