With the novel coronavirus(Covid-19) outbreak, the successful development of Roborn 5G Epidemic Prevention Smart Robot has caught great attention from the media and the public. Regarding this, Economic Digest interviewed Roborn team and published an article on their page introducing this strategic project by Roborn. Below is the translation of Economic Digest’s published article:
Recently, Hong Kong-based technology company Roborn has successfully spent 15 days in developing a new type of epidemic prevention smart robot, incorporated with 5G technology to measure the temperature of patients and track people with close contact to the diagnosed patients, so as to reduce the pressure of the front-line medical staff.
Abnormal Temperature Alarm
The disease is raging. While taking care of patients, medical staff has to prevent disease transmission at the same time, hence increasing their workload. Measuring body temperature is a task that doctors and nurses need to perform every day as it is an important indicator for judging whether one has caught the coronavirus. Hong Kong based technology company, Roborn, has recently developed a new epidemic prevention robot in just 15 days in response to the epidemic situation. It can move to different locations to detect the temperature of different people. If the robot finds anyone with abnormal body temperature, it will immediately signal alarm to notify the health staff to pay attention and take action.
Compared to manual body temperature measurement, Roborn said the Epidemic Prevention Smart Robot with its own 5G AIR PEP system, together with AI, IoT, and robotics technology, can reach specific locations for detecting and monitoring at critical times as needed, and has a higher degree of flexibility. 5G technology also makes image transmission more convenient, so that users can receive accurate information immediately.
In addition to body temperature measurement, the 5G Epidemic Prevention Smart Robot can also detect foreheads, which allows it to identify people with abnormal body temperature and those who have been in close contact with them, so that the staff can track the spread of the virus. Moreover, the robot’s screen can display epidemic prevention information and knowledge to the public, such as general epidemic prevention measures to people with normal temperature; in case of detecting somebody with abnormal temperature, the robot will show measures to be taken for the suspected patient . The Co-founder, Mark Mak, said that they intend to add more new functions to the robots, such as drug distribution and precision disinfection, which is still in the research stage.
It Takes Only 15 Days to Complete the Robot Development. Founders: We welcome inquiries from governments and other organizations.
Mark pointed out that completing the entire R & D process within 15 days was very challenging. The entire team spent three times than their usual working hours and worked 21 hours a day to get it done. . He also said that if necessary, governments or any organizations are welcome to contact and discuss matters related to using the Smart Robot to assist in epidemic prevention.
