Prof. Larry Poon, Co-found cum Chief Executive Officer of Roborn shared at the “Huan Ting Shi Jie”, a RTHK programme. Facing the COVID-19 outbreaks, the team proactively worked around to develop a 5G Smart Epidemic Prevention Robo “PEP3000”, aiming to contribute to the fight against coronavirus.
Mr Mark Mak, the co-founder of Roborn will develop a 5G live-streaming robot, which will be used for video conferences.
Roborn’s latest robot Unicorn was also featured on COVID-19 World News. Unicorn is an disinfection robot which uses UV-C light to kill microorganisms. The robot has been put to test in a private medical centre and shopping malls.
Roborn’s PEP3000 was featured on TVB News’ special segment Innovation GPS. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Roborn developed PEP3000 , a 5G epidemic prevention smart robot which can detect body temperatures of multiple people at the same time. The program highlights key features of PEP3000, including agility in deployment, accurate temperature detection from foreheads, and capturing of images of suspected patients and close contacts nearby for tracking.
EMSD launched an anti-epidemic thematic page on their platform to reach out to innovation and technology companies for the development of new technology projects to fight against the epidemic. Among the projects, Roborn’s mobile body temperature detection robot can quickly identify the potentially infected within the community. The robot has been used at the main entrance of the EMSD headquarters since the beginning of this month.
On November 6, 2019, the Roborn team was invited to visit ZTE’s 5G factory located in Changsha. Top management from ZTE led the tour and discussed about accelerating the pace of 5G and robotic application.
