The robot is separated into several structures and can be moved to various locations to detect the body temperatures of different people. At the same time, it comes with a sensor which prevents itself from knocking over pedestrians and obstacles. Inside the trunk are the AI host, electric circuits, and batteries. Complemented with the 4K and thermal imaging lens at the top, the robot can accurately recognize human faces even when they are wearing masks. If the robot detects a person with abnormal temperature, it will keep a record of the image and issue alert to remind related staff to pay attention.

Earlier on, Roborn was interviewed by Speak Out HK to introduce PEP3000.
Hong Kong people were haunted by the memories of SARS in 2003. In face of the novel coronavirus, Roborn, with the original intention of protecting front-line staff and benefiting the public, will work together and combat the epidemic by launching a “magical solution for epidemic prevention” — the 5G Epidemic Prevention Smart Robot. It has a temperature detection function, which avoids the risk of human-to-human transmission due to manual temperature detection.

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.
