CloudMinds, a Beijing-based robotics company, is using its robots to help patients and to prevent secondary COVID-19 infection in Wuhan’s hospitals. The robots are used to deliver medication, patrol and clean infected areas, lead patients in exercises, and even perform robo-dances to entertain bored quarantined patients. They are also used to check heart rates and blood oxygen levels via smart bracelets and rings worn by patients.
