Title : Robotics in the field of virology

Abstract:

The stories of robots started surfacing from the start of 20th century and first autonomous robot capable of playing chess was introduced in 1912. Since then, many advancements in the field of robotics have been made and now wide range of robots are available to replace variety of human tasks. The first humanoid robot named “Sophia” was created by Hanson Robotics in 2016. Working conditions in many sectors like space, virology etc. are critical for human lives. Replacement of human beings with robots in areas that are critical to human lives can substantially reduce the risk of human life like handling virus samples in virology labs. Use of robots in different types of viral diseases including SARS provide more safety to human lives. Various medical institutes used robots for testing during coronavirus. Asimov Robotics created a robot to spread awareness about the coronavirus. Robots have also been used for monitoring patients, makings vaccines and medicine, sanitizing hospitals, making deliveries, sample analysis, and cleaning tasks. All these applications of robots are aimed to avoid exposure to virus, save the time and human labor. Till now most of the robotic works are directly controlled by human beings while few are automated. Future of robotics is fascinating where robots would be freestanding, independent and self-growing. With the advancements in artificial intelligence robots would be independently capable of research & development arena and dealing with patient related activities.
