Now Robots Can Take COVID Test In Patients

Bringing as a breakthrough in the testing process and mechanisms in detection of coronavirus in people, an inventor in Egypt trails a remote-control robot which can test for COVID-19.

However, Egypt is still facing the second wave of coronavirus, hopes of people have raised high after this robot is invented which can take the temperature of patients, and even warn them if they don’t wear masks.

Mahmoud el-Komy, who designed the robot, called Cira-03, says it can help limit exposure to infection and prevent the transmission of the virus.

“I tried to make the robot seem more human, so that the patient doesn’t fear it. So they don’t feel like a box is walking in on them,” he said.

The robot has been developed to have a human-like face and head and robotic arms. It has been designed in such a way that it can take blood tests, perform echocardiograms and X-rays, and display the results to patients on a screen attached to its chest.
