“…The basic remote function can be performed like telemedicine, taking blood pressure and dispensing pills. Meanwhile, it is also suggested to integrate robot with the gas release system to sterilise the area and prevent disease spreading [ 43 ]. In an application in China, a robot was also utilised to collect air samples in the hospital [ 44 ].…”

Since the late 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has been spread all around the world. The pandemic is a critical challenge to the health and safety of the general public, the medical staff and the medical systems worldwide. It has been globally proposed to utilise robots during the pandemic, to improve the treatment of patients and leverage the load of the medical system. However, there is still a lack of detailed and systematic review of the robotic research for the pandemic, from the technologies’ perspective. Thus a thorough literature survey is conducted in this research and more than 280 publications have been reviewed, with the focus on robotics during the pandemic. The main contribution of this literature survey is to answer two research questions, i.e. 1) what the main research contributions are to combat the pandemic from the robotic technologies’ perspective, and 2) what the promising supporting technologies are needed during and after the pandemic to help and guide future robotics research. The current achievements of robotic technologies are reviewed and discussed in different categories, followed by the identification of the representative work’s technology readiness level. The future research trends and essential technologies are then highlighted, including artificial intelligence, 5 G, big data, wireless sensor network, and human-robot collaboration.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technologies have recently been increasingly used in various areas of human activity. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to consider the medical, social and economic aspects of the use of artificial intelligence in various spheres of human activity. The reason for people turning to the above-mentioned innovations is to expand a number of human capabilities, increase labor productivity, reduce the negative impact of the human factor, etc. The social aspect of the use of robotic technologies should also not be underestimated. The economic aspects of the use of artificial intelligence and robotic technologies are the possibility of optimizing the number of labor resources, replacing a whole staff of auxiliary workers, which can significantly reduce the salary fund in general and the costs of a company using such technologies, in particular.

“…The design of spraying devices and the choice of chemical agents can also undermine the effectiveness of disinfection. According to studies [4,14,[22][23][24], some chemical agents, such as sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), hypochlorous acid (HOCl), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), alcohol, and ozone (O3), can be effective sterilizers. A comparison of various space disinfection methods is shown in TABLE I.…”

“…Fogged ClO2 disinfectant can effectively eliminate human norovirus (HoV) and feline calicivirus (FCV) on hard-to-reach surfaces [25]. Some studies [24,[26][27][28][29][30] indicated that both the aqueous and gaseous forms of ClO2 demonstrate good sterilization efficiency. Additionally, ClO2 has the characteristics of low cost, extremely low residue, good sterilization effects, and relative safety.…”

“…Changes in temperature and humidity in the air are the two important factors affecting disinfection effectiveness and were used to determine the optimal exposure time for disinfection. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) suggested the health standard of 0.1 ppm averaged over 8 h of ClO2 exposure in 2002 [49], and excessive inhalation of ClO2 gas may cause many problematic symptoms, such as coughing, sore throat, and severe headaches [24]; hence, the robot is equipped with a ClO2 concentration sensor with a measurement range of 0 to 2 ppm, which can alert the user to avoid over-inhalation. The PM sensor provides data on particle mass concentration and number count.…”

The highly infectious and serious nature of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has highlighted the need for hospital space disinfection technology and the prevention of human exposure to pathogenic environments. This research developed novel chlorine dioxide (ClO2) sterilization technology to reduce bacteria and viruses in the air and on surfaces. A smart sterilization robot system was also developed to spray disinfectants in operating theaters or patients' rooms, designed according to the results of controlled experiments and the requirements for hospital disinfection. The system was built incorporated a semi-automatic remote-controlled module and an automatic intelligent disinfection function; that is, it could operate independently according to specific epidemic prevention strategies, which were implemented using a combination of Internet of Things (IoT) applications and a gesture recognition function. The elimination of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria on sample plates was 99.8 % effective. This paper reviews the evolution of various disinfection technologies and describes a disinfection robot system in detail.
