Robots are Called for in the Time of Coronavirus
In the battle against the coronavirus, doctors and nurses are flocking to the frontlines, risking their lives to rescue the affected. It takes them 30 minutes to put on the heavy protective clothing, which will be completely wet after only 1 hour. Because of the shortage of medical equipment, they often have to soak in such protective clothing for as long as 6 hours. In addition to protective clothing, masks worn for long hours can also cause scars and even blood marks on their faces.
For patients with severe coronavirus disease, they rely on doctors for symptomatic treatment and even necessary organ support, but for simple and repetitive tasks like medicine delivery and temperature taking, could we automate the process to free medical people from these scenarios? The answer is absolutely YES! And it will fundamentally avoid necessary person-to-person contact, and cut off the possibility of infection.
Therefore, the epidemic has stimulated the demand for “robot replacement”. Robots have come to the frontlines of the epidemic battle, and have assisted in public disinfection, auxiliary medicine and daily services. For example, Shanghai Mobile launched 5G-Cloud disinfecting sweeping robot, which can automatically set an area and do the cleaning, sparing the need of cleaners; Wuxi Angel Robotics launched a dispensing robot that does not require operators to directly touch the medicines; Orion Star donated "Panther Secretary" robot that can deliver test reports and medications.
However, most of the service robots on the market are not intelligent enough. They must be programmed and taught to complete standard actions, which greatly limits the work they can do in epidemic prevention. To perform more medical tasks, robots need to have a higher level of intelligence and more autonomous and flexible ability to recognize and analyze targets.
ALSONTECH 3D vision positioning system gives a pair of eyes and an AI brain to the robot, enabling the robot to see and perceive the world three dimensionally, and helping it position precisely the part that the patient needs to be examined or treated.
Combining an AGV, a robotic arm and the vision, we have our ALSONTECH robotic medical assistant. She is borne to help doctors and nurses with simple and repetitive errands in the hope of protecting them from the virus and giving them some time for rest. She can shuttle between wards, and perform tasks such as temperature taking, medicine delivering, meal delivering, etc. She also has a little and cute body that would make a pleasant presence around the patients.
The robot can deliver medicines, test reports and food correctly to the patients and also medical personnel. 3D vision’s accurate positioning can guide the robot to accurately grasp and place. The entire process is automatically completed without any manual intervention.
Intelligent temperature taking
The thermometer installed on the front end of the robotic arm can automatically take the temperature of a person. The robot can automatically adjust the arm span according to different heights. If the temperature exceeds 37 ° C, the sensor will send an alert and the exact temperature information to the management system. Not only can it be used for entrance temperature taking as a security measure, but also for regular temperature monitoring of patients in the ward, which greatly reduces human-to-human transmission and ensures immediate monitoring and treatment of infected patients.
Automatic route planning
The robot can plan the service route in advance and has an anti-collision mechanism to automatically avoid people during operation to ensure human safety.
