It took 5 days for some lecturers from the Mechanics Faculty of the Da Nang University of Science and Technology to create a robot to deliver food, medicines and other necessary items to suspected coronavirus patients in hospital.

The city-based Maternity and Paediatrics Hospital ordered the delivery robot with loading capacity of 100kg to use in a bid to reduce workload for its medical staff and prevent cross infection.

The robot called ‘BK-AntiCovid’ actually looks like a hospital cart and it can be cleaned and disinfected because it is made of 3-mm thick stainless-steel.

The robot was created by some lecturers from the University’s Mechanics Faculty

In the morning of Monday, representatives from the municipal University of Science and Technology handed over the delivery robot to the Maternity and Paediatrics Hospital.
