Covid-19 robots to the rescue
Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Engineering has launched a new service robot to help first responders in the battle against Covid-19. The “Pinto” robot are being used to deliver food and medical supplies so medical staff can maintain a safe distance and minimise the risk of exposure.

Twenty robots were deployed yesterday at Chulalongkorn, Siriraj, and Vachira Phuket hospitals with many more on the way. Later this month 103 new robots will be delivered across the Kingdom to celebrate Chulalongkron University’s 103 years of operation.
Last month Singapore deployed similar robots to feed, clean, and even chat with patients.
