Corona pandemic: How Humanoid Robotics Can Help

The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has spread worldwide from China. The metropolis of Wuhan in Hubei province was the center of the outbreak. The associated disease is called Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The SARS-CoV-2 virus has spread very efficiently from person to person in the short time since it was first detected in December 2019, particularly through droplet infection, but also through aerosol infection. Coronaviruses (CoVs) can cause human illnesses ranging from mild colds to more severe illnesses such as Middle East Respirator Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
