As
the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread in India and across
the world, Kochi-based startup Asimov Robotics has developed a robot that can
be deployed in hospitals to ease pressure on the medical staff.
Background
The three-wheeled robot can
carry food, medical and clinical consumables and navigate freely in the
hospitals. The robot has been developed in 15 days by a team of seven people.
Details
Ø The robot is mainly
designed to be used inside isolation wards. The robot, dubbed “KARMI-BOT”,
has lower and upper trays that can be loaded with food or sterile containers.
Ø Additionally, the robot
also disinfects the used items as it comes out of the quarantine zone. The
robot also lets doctors or relatives interact with the patients through video
calling.
Ø The robot has autonomous
navigation and can be used remotely as well. The advantage of deploying a robot
in this scenario is to cut down on human to human contact. This will help both
health workers and visitors.
Ø The robots are connected to
the distributed sensor network and use AI and MI to come to a decision and
based on that decision, they respond.
Ø Earlier the had team
deployed two humanoid robots at the entrance of Maker Village at the Kinfra
Hi-Tech Park to create awareness about coronavirus outbreak and
distribute masks and sanitisers to people who work in the Integrated Startup
Complex.
