Introducing Aimu Si: The Medical Robot Revolutionizing Contagion Control

The transcript discusses a new class of medical robots designed to minimize contact with infectious patients, particularly during outbreaks like SARS. The MU C robot, resembling a small refrigerator, is remote-controlled and performs basic medical tasks. It can navigate hospital corridors and carry up to 40kg. Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the robot is still in development, with plans for radiation safety and public models. The project aims to meet a winter deadline to prepare for potential SARS resurgence.

In what ways is the robot expected to assist medical staff?

What challenges did the development team face after the SARS epidemic?
