Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Applications in Manage and Control of COVID-19 Pandemic

摘要

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), applications have played an essential role in managing and controlling COVID-19 pandemic specifically in hospitals, hotels, restaurants, airports, transportation systems, schools, and others community levels. Artificial intelligence technologies, autonomous vehicles, drones, mobile robots, humanoid robots, manipulator robots and other intelligent robots are used potentially during the outbreak to control the transmission network from person to person. Due to the highly uses, we consider A.I. and robotics in health will likely continue after the COVID-19 pandemic and development of these technologies is needed for fighting against infectious diseases. Furthermore, the uses of these systems in different fields like industry, sports, ergonomics, distribution of goods, and social life will keep going in the coming years. In this article, the artificial intelligent devices and robots helped in fighting, and managing covid19 are explored, including the new trends. These new trends are led by artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, network communication, cooperative work, nanorobotics, friendly human-robot interfaces, safe human-robot interaction, and emotion expression and perception. Furthermore, these news trends are applied to different fields such as medicine, health care, sports, ergonomics, industry, distribution of goods, and service robot. These tendencies will keep going their evolution in the coming years.
