Fighting the COVID-19 Pandemic with Robotics and Machine Vision could Combat Its Spread
利用机器人和机器视觉抗击新冠肺炎大流行,阻止其蔓延

Robotics and machine vision play an important role in fighting the COVID -19 pandemic. Over one million people globally have been infected with COVID -19 virus.  As the world continues to fight the novel coronavirus pandemic, leveraging robotics and machine vision technology can be a significant solution to safeguard people, control and prevent the spread of the virus.These cutting-edge technologies not only help in pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing processes but also inspect, identify, recognize, diagnose, provide assistance in treating the COVID patients.

机器人技术和机器视觉在对抗新冠肺炎大流行中起着重要作用。全球已有超过100万人感染了新冠病毒。随着世界继续抗击新冠病毒大流行,利用机器人和机器视觉技术可以成为保护人类、控制和防止病毒传播的重要解决方案。这些尖端技术不仅有助于制药和医疗设备制造过程,而且还能检查、识别、识别、诊断、帮助治疗新冠患者。

Automation is on the front lines to fight the battle against COVID 19.  Robots are being deployed at medical service facilities to treat patients to minimize human to human contact.Autonomous mobile robots are bringing supplies to people in order to maintain social distancing.The following applications are gaining traction in this current scenario of pandemic.

自动化处于对抗新冠肺炎的前线。机器人被部署在医疗服务设施中治疗病人,以尽量减少人与人之间的接触。自动移动机器人为人们带来补给,以保持社交距离。在当前大流行的情况下,以下应用越来越受欢迎。

Vision Guided Robotics
COVID-19 has turned increased focus towards vision guided robots, which can reduce unnecessary human contact at medical facilities and hospitals.For instance, Orrbec, a US-based company has collaborated with robot manufacturers in China where its 3D camera products are being deployed in robots for different hospital applications. Food delivery robots, sterilization robots, and directional guiding robots navigating patients between hospital departments, have been deployed across many hospitals in China.

视觉引导机器人
新冠肺炎疫情让人越来越关注视觉引导机器人,它可以在医疗机构和医院里面减少人与人的不必要接触。例如,美国Orrbec公司与中国的机器人制造商合作,在中国将其3D相机产品部署到机器人中,用于不同的医院应用。食品输送机器人、消毒机器人和在医院科室之间引导病人的定向引导机器人已经在中国的许多医院部署。

Patrol Robots
China has deployed 5G patrol robots in public places, airports and shopping malls, which reminds people to wear face masks and wash hands, and monitors mask-wearing and body temperatures of people assisting police in prevention inspections.Guangzhou Gosuncn Robot Company has developed the robot, powered by an IoT edge computer (MIC-770) from Advantech, equipped with an 8th gen Intel Core I processor and GPU iModule (MIC-75G20) aimed at IoT applications.The robot has five high-resolution cameras and infrared thermometers that can scan the temperature of 10 people simultaneously within a radius of 5 meters.Any potential risk observed,like absence of mask or high temperature, results in an alert being sent by robots to relevant authorities, and a real-time response can be initiated.

巡逻机器人
中国已在公共场所、机场和大型购物中心部署了5G巡逻机器人,提醒人们戴口罩和洗手,并监控人员的口罩佩戴和体温,以协助警察进行预防检查。广州高新兴机器人有限公司开发了该机器人,由研华科技的物联网边缘计算机(MIC-770)驱动,配备了第八代英特尔酷睿I处理器和针对物联网应用的图形处理器iModule (MIC-75G20)。该机器人有五个高分辨率摄像机和红外温度计,可以在5米半径范围内同时扫描10个人的体温。观察到的任何潜在风险,如没有口罩或高温,都会导致机器人向相关机构发出警报,并启动实时响应。

Delivery Robot Van
Chinese startup UDI developed a self-driven robot van, Hercules, for logistics application.It delivers food to lockdown areas.The robot uses LIDAR, stereo vision cameras, and deep-learning algorithms to drive itself, carrying up to 1,000 kilograms on its cargo compartment.The company plans to mass produce these autonomous logistics robots in coming years.

送货机器车
中国初创企业UDI开发了一款用于物流应用的自动驾驶机器人“大力神”(Hercules),用于向隔离区运送食物。该机器人使用激光雷达、立体视觉相机和深度学习算法进行自我驾驶,在货舱里可运载多达1000公斤的货物。该公司计划在未来几年大规模生产这些自主物流机器人。

Drones
Drones with specialized sensor and computer vision system are deployed to identify people with infectious and respiratory ailments.It has also become a key tool for safe transport of medical and other consumer supplies, medical sample delivery and aerial spray disinfection.

无人机
配备专门传感器和计算机视觉系统的无人机被用来识别患有传染病和呼吸系统疾病的患者。它也已成为安全运输医疗和其他消费用品、医疗样本运送和空中喷雾消毒的关键工具。

Disinfectant Robots
Disinfectant robots have been increasing since the outbreak of the pandemic.Danish disinfectant robots from UVD Robots have been deployed in all Chinese provinces to help fight the coronavirus.This self-driving robot platform, disinfects and kills diseases, viruses, bacteria, and other types of harmful organic microorganisms in the environment by breaking down their DNA-structure with help of UV light system.The production of these robots has accelerated, and sales are up in China, Asia and Europe.Similarly, Siemens and Aucma have developed a prototype of an intelligent disinfection robot that will soon be available to combat the virus spread.

消毒机器人
自疫情大流行爆发以来,消毒机器人的数量一直在增加。丹麦UVD机器人公司的消毒机器人已经被部署到中国的所有省份,帮助对抗冠状病毒。这种自动驾驶机器人平台,通过紫外光系统分解环境中的疾病、病毒、细菌和其他类型的有害有机微生物的DNA结构,从而对其进行消毒和杀灭。这些机器人的生产已经加快,在中国、亚洲和欧洲的销量也在上升。西门子和澳柯玛也同样开发出一种智能消毒机器人的原型,这种机器人将很快用于对抗病毒的传播。

These are just few examples where robots and vision technology have taken charge to meet the non-human labor demand in this pandemic situation.While demand for robotic and vision applications increases many fold in healthcare, medical and pharmaceutical sectors, robotics and intelligent manufacturing automation would be the key solution for manufacturing industries to mitigate the impact of present and future potential epidemic challenges.  No one knows when this pandemic will end, but these critical automation technologies can be harnessed for the revival of industrial production, and it’s time that manufacturers upgrade their facilities with automation tools and digital technologies for safe and ongoing operations.

在疫情流行病的情况下,机器人和视觉技术负责满足非人类的劳动力需求,这只是少数几个例子。尽管医疗保健、医疗和制药行业对机器人和视觉应用的需求增加了数倍,但机器人技术和智能制造自动化将成为制造业减轻当前和未来潜在流行病挑战影响的关键解决方案。没有人知道这场大流行何时会结束,但是这些关键的自动化技术可以用于工业的复工复产,现在是制造商利用自动化工具和数字化技术升级其设施,以实现安全和持续运行的时候了。
