Last year was marked as the start of 5G era in Mainland China. Following the momentum of last year, how will it develop this year? It is worth noting that scope of 5G-compatible products has now extended to robotics. In response to the outbreak of coronavirus, the Roborn team spent 15 days in developing a 5G epidemic prevention robot to identify potential patients in the community

To prevent novel coronavirus from further spreading, the effective method would be locating potentially infected people in a community. In Hong Kong, a company specifying in developing robots used 15 days to develop an agile temperature detection robot which can increase the efficiency for detecting fever symptoms.

Furthermore, the robot comes with an AGV mobile platform which can keep a record of the entire path just by moving around a venue once. Afterwards, it can move around automatically and navigate by itself. Users can also set time and petrol mode according to their needs. Mak added that the epidemic prevention robot can be operated under Wifi and 4G networks and is compatible with 5G.

At present, the epidemic prevention robot has completed site testings at locations including medical centres, offices, shopping malls, restaurants, and cinemas at Hong Kong. The robot is highly popular among front-line staffs as it meets the requirements of actual working environments.

5G Epidemic Prevention Smart Robot is on a mission against the novel coronavirus. To make a contribution to societyfight agianst the epidemic, Roborn has integrated 5G, AI, IoT and robotics technology into a unique system and successfully developed the 5G Epidemic Prevention Smart Robot for more effective and flexible deployment within only 15 days.

The COVID-19 continues to ravage the world. Roborn developed an epidemic prevention robot, which uses 5G technology to track potential patients in real-time by monitoring their body temperatures.
