A group of students from the University of Danang- University of Science and Technology (UD-DUT) has successfully made a useful technology product - a Robot – to serve at the Covid-19 isolation area.

The project had just won the First Prize of the Student Science Research Competition organized by the Danang Department of Science and Technology in collaboration with Da Nang Youth Union. This Robot had been put into pilot at Hoa Vang Hospital, where Covid-19 patients were being treated in Da Nang city.

The group of students including Phan Thi Mai, Nguyen Van Thuan and Nguyen Dac Quy (Faculty of Electrical Engineering) under the supervision of Dr. Nguyen Hoang Mai, had spent 8 months of researching and manufacturing a product to support for quarantine and isolation as well as minimize the direct contact to Covid-19 patients at hospitals.

Robot has a function of automatically transporting food, personal belongings, medicine, medical equipment to the hospital bed under the remote control (via mobile phone application or by hand), with a camera and mini speaker to communicate among doctors, medical stalls and patients. This Robot can roll uphill (up to 30 degrees) and lift a capacity up to 90kg.

"We hope to help doctors and medical staff reduce their hardships in the process of treating and caring for Covid-19 patients. Protecting the frontline forces in the Covid-19 fight has a paramount importance, especially in the context of safe control and flexible adaptation to the pandemic" said student Phan Thi Mai.
