Coronavirus India update: Kerala deploys robots to combat COVID-19

The world right now is just fighting one battle together, the Nobel Coronavirus. Every country, state, and city is coming up with some or the other solution or prevention method to stay away from the deadly virus, which has taken the globe by storm. Joining the battle is now a startup in Kerala’s Kochi that has introduced two super-smart robots.
The Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) has come up with a pair of robots (computer-programmed machines), the brainchild of Asimov Robotics to fight against the virus. The robot can be seen distributing masks, sanitisers and napkins in the start-up complex in Kochi.

The robots here are also informing people about the Coronavirus outbreak, how to prevent and how to take care of yourself during this tough phase.
CEO Jayakrishnan T of the said firm introduced the robots to the public and said that it is a preventive measure against coronavirus. The use of robots is an intelligent decision and has grabbed a lot of public attention considering the probability of COVID-19 to spread via human contact.

"They are actually crowd-pullers. So people will gather around the robot and we can very effectively communicate this to the public," said Jayakrishnan T, the brains behind the robots.

CEO chief executive officer of the robotic firm said that the institution is thinking of deploying such robots in all public places including airports and malls. The startup has also sought permission from the government authorities for the same.

As per the current status of Coronavirus, world status, there have been 170,040 confirmed cases, among which 6524 people have lost their lives and the number is only going up every day.
