VIBOT medical robots are playing an important role in transporting food, supplies for Covid-19 patients, and medical supplies from outside to isolation areas.

The robots talk to Covid-19 patients and send information about the situation to medical experts. They can also transport food, drinks, and medical materials to patients' rooms.

With just VND1.2 million and a passion for scientific research, a group of students has successfully assembled a robot arm controlled by image recognition.

HCM City should soon start using a robotic assistant to automatically make phone calls to people to ask about COVID-19 symptoms and report to health officials for taking samples to test in time, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam has said.
