Abstract

Currently, most of the robots on the market only concerns about alleviating the work pressure of medical staff, and rarely consider the needs of the quarantined at the same time. Therefore, this article proposes an ideal robot model that focuses on more than the heavy workload of personnel at the centralized isolation point. Also, it pays attention to the needs of quarantined people in addition to diet and necessary medical supplies in order to guarantee their mental health.
