Weston Robot Invited to Share at NTU Makan Night Talks
2021-08-03 00:00:00
Has the pandemic greatly accelerated technological advancements such as robotics adoption? The answer is an evident yes, as we start to observe their presence significantly in the area of healthcare. Weston Robot's Chief Scientist Dr. Zhang Yanliang was invited to share his thoughts about how robots are used to combat with COVID-19 in Singapore and the globe.

 

Locally, robots have been developed for nasal swab tests in the bid to reduce risk for healthcare workers. Robots have also been used to speed up the processes of temperature taking, scanning for safe entry, and effectively helping to disinfect large, common spaces.

In this virtual session, our panel made up of founders from the robotics industry explores this trend of integrating such high technology into our day-to day life through the pandemic, the major challenges faced, and how robots can continue to help us post-pandemic.
