Driven by the belief of being built in Hong Kong for Hong Kong, Roborn has independently developed a series of anti-epidemic robots to stand together with the community. Roborn firmly believes that with the collaboration of our partners, we can overcome the challenges of the pandemic.
Roborn ME3 robot up to 1.8 meters high with flexible and dexterous finger movements is controlled by the lightweight motion detection technology and algorithm system. Through human body movement, user can directly control the robot to realize human-machine cooperation and virtual interaction.
Eden Lu Li-han, one of the co-founders of Roborn which is a Hong Kong based company with expertise in robotic technology working on 5G, AI and IoT solutions, shares with SCMP the story of how his interest in Robot and machines since childhood have influenced his life and the development of his ideas about mechanical products for his company, such as the design of their ME Series robot (motion-controlled humanoid robots for use in hazardous environments).
This article takes a closer look at some examples of HealthTech companies and startups in the Asia Pacific region who have addressed the Covid-19 pandemic with their solutions. The mentioned innovators were part of a video on HealthTech in the series “Digital life under Covid-19 and beyond” produced by Heinrich-Boell-Stiftung’s Hong Kong office for the ‘Tech and Covid-19’ project that analyses global digital trends during the pandemic.
Roborn Technology has created a temperature-detection robot and UVC disinfection robot, which can show whether people have signs of a fever and use ultraviolet light to kill 99.9 per cent of Covid-19 particles respectively.
The COVID-19 pandemic brings significant opportunity for the digital business. RTHK programme “Huan Ting Shi Jie” introduced a 5G Cultural Smart Robot, developed by Roborn. The robot is slim design and features a series of intelligent video recording functions. With the high-speed 5G network, the tracking function is activated by simple instruction. It is suitable for shooting, live broadcast and meeting in different sites, such as live-streaming in shopping malls, distance group learning, business video conferences, etc., Under the new normal, our experience in distance learning and interaction could be enriched thought the 5G Cultural Smart Robot.
