Robot for sterilization and temperature measurement Demonstration test for new corona medical treatment hotel August 27, 16:59
A demonstration experiment was started in Tokyo to have a robot carry out hotel operations in order to use it in a hotel where people infected with the new coronavirus can recover.
This demonstration test started in Tokyo from 27th at a hotel in Taito Ward, which is not a medical treatment facility for infected people.
Nine kinds of robots manufactured by a private company are used in the experiment, of which a cleaning robot shaped like a cube with a width of about 50 cm automatically moves along the corridor while irradiating the ground with ultraviolet rays and removing it. They were demonstrating bacteria and sterilizing doorknobs and handrails by spraying water like a disinfectant solution from the tank installed on the top.
In addition, an experiment was conducted in which the request of a guest staying in a remote place was received as voice data through a robot, and another toothbrush etc. that another transport robot requested was carried to the front of the room.
In addition, there is a sensor on the door of the room that can remotely check the guest's room entrance and exit, and a humanoid robot at the front that can automatically measure the temperature. Experiments were also conducted to see if the work could be done without contact, and the person in charge of the city confirmed the effect.
Kentaro Fujibayashi, Director of Advanced Business Promotion, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, said, "I wish we could use robots to realize "non-contact," "non-face-to-face," and "remote." I think."
The demonstration test will be held until 28th.
