Vibot, invented by officials and researchers from the Military Technical Academy, has been used for food delivery in Field Hospital No.7. The medical facility has 16 floors, housing some 1,200 coronavirus patients.

Vibot reportedly can carry 60kg of items, equivalent to 60 meal portions. It can work non-stop for 12 hours and monitor its own level of energy to find charging stations when necessary, according to Tran Minh Vy, representative of the academy in southern region.

The robot will say “Patient in room No. 2 please come out for the food” as it arrives at one room. Once the food is taken out and patients wave at its screen, Vibot will say “Thank you, goodbye” before leaving to the next room. It plays music while moving, Vy said.

On August 24, Vibot has delivered around 450 meal sets for Covid patients treating at floor from 5 to 15 of Field Hospital No.7, HCMC. Besides carrying food, medicine, or waste, Robot Vibot also helps patients get virtual consultation with the medical personnel.

“This greatly reduces the workload for the healthcare workers. More importantly, it mitigates staff’s exposure risk to the coronavirus,” Vy told VNE.

Previously, Robot Vibot has been used to assist frontline workers in Bac Giang.
