: Robots utilize algorithms like Frozone and Deep Reinforcement Learning to navigate safely through crowds without "freezing" or causing obstructions. Notable Deployments
: The robot 'Robovie' was deployed in stores to guide customers and request they follow anti-COVID measures like mask-wearing. : Robots utilize algorithms like Frozone and Deep
: Specialized robots were used in treatment facilities to take temperatures and deliver messages, minimizing direct contact between staff and patients. Ethical and Technical Considerations Ethical and Technical Considerations : Current models often
: Current models often struggle to distinguish between strangers and members of the same household, potentially issuing unnecessary warnings. These systems, such as the COVID Surveillance Robot
: Robots use commodity sensors like RGB-D cameras and 2-D lidar to detect pedestrians and estimate distances between them in real-time.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers developed autonomous mobile surveillance robots to monitor and enforce social distancing protocols in crowded environments. These systems, such as the COVID Surveillance Robot (CS-robot) , were designed to support healthcare and security personnel by reducing their physical exposure to potential infection while maintaining public safety.
