Meals were served, temperatures taken and communications handled by machines, one of them named “Cloud Ginger” by its maker CloudMinds, which has operations in Beijing and California.
Long maligned as job-stealers and aspiring overlords, robots are being increasingly relied on as fast, efficient, contagion-proof champions in the war against the deadly coronavirus.
One team of robots temporarily cared for patients in a makeshift hospital in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the COVID-19 outbreak began.
Meals were served, temperatures taken and communications handled by machines, one of them named “Cloud Ginger” by its maker CloudMinds, which has operations in Beijing and California.
“It provided useful information, conversational engagement, entertainment with dancing, and even led patients through stretching exercises,” CloudMinds president Karl Zhao said of the humanoid robot.
“The smart field hospital was completely run by robots.”
A small medical team remotely controlled the field hospital robots. Patients wore wristbands that gathered blood pressure and other vital data.
The smart clinic only handled patients for a few days, but it foreshadowed a future in which robots tend to patients with contagious diseases while health care workers manage from safe distances.
– Checkup and check out –
Patients in hospitals in Thailand, Israel and elsewhere meet with robots for consultations done by doctors via videoconference. Some consultation robots even tend to the classic checkup task of listening to patients’ lungs as they breathe.
Alexandra Hospital in Singapore will use a robot called BeamPro to deliver medicine and meals to patients diagnosed with COVID-19 or those suspected to be infected with the virus in its isolation wards.
If that video of Anushka Sharma giving Virat Kohli a haircut encouraged you to also try some DIY hair makeovers at home, beware. Things may not turn out as good as they did for the aforementioned couple. This couple in Los Angeles tried and things didn’t quite turn out the way they expected.
A video posted on Facebook by actor Emily Pendergast shows her giving her husband, Cory Pendergast, a hair cut at home. It’s safe to say, she cut off way more of her husband’s hair than he would have liked.
The video shows Cory stressing over and over again that he only needed a little trim. He goes on to give her a few hair-cutting pointers, which Emily promptly tries to use on her husband’s hair.
“We don’t even have the right scissors,” she tells him while continuing on with the job at hand. Chop, chop she goes, only to cut quite a bit of length of Cory’s hair. “Honey, that’s too much,” he says.
By the end of it, Cory has a completely different hair style. What’s amazing is how the couple can’t stop laughing at the new hairdo.
