“…There are political and social concerns of the fear and unknown consequences, while some of the technologies are banned at the legal level. However, the pandemic crisis forced the digital transformation to some degree [ 142 ]. Until late 2020, the pandemic was still not well controlled globally.…”

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.

“…Some sectors have become more vulnerable than others during the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel, tourism, hotels, hospitality, aviation, restaurants, retail, public entertainment, education, and sports were the sectors with the highest disruptions to business while other sectors such as food, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and information technology seem to be less vulnerable [1][2][3]7,43,45,59,82,87,97,99]. Some sectors were challenged by specific issues in regard to social changes, which has been demonstrated through the example of sharing platforms.…”

“…This also depends on the countries and regions where the SME operates. The potential to make the transition to industry 4.0 can vary [97] and can lead to technological, economic, social, and cultural changes, as well as changes in the class structure of societies [103]. The selection of appropriate technology as a response, depends on the driver transforming operations, as well as on the applicability of the technology in the core processes of SMEs.…”

The Impact of COVID-19 on Sustainable Business Models in SMEs

2021

Businesses have been exposed to various challenges during the global pandemic, and their response to this disruption has impacted their resilience as well as their chances to overcome this crisis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are changing their business models in order to adapt to this changing environment. Service-based industries have been hit particularly hard. This research investigates how SMEs operating in service industries have been coping with the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research aims to gain insights into which transformation drivers they have focused on and which technologies they have selected as a means to respond to the disruption. These insights regarding SMEs are then explored according to their influence on the redefinition of sustainable business models in SMEs. The review data was analyzed via a customized research framework that contains three dimensions and 30 subconcepts. The results show the distribution of drivers and technologies across service sectors. They are organized into a Business Model Canvas and could be considered useful for academia and practitioners. The highly unpredictable environment allows for only a few feasible strategic approaches regarding an SME’s decision on to follow incumbents, to become a challenger, or to reinvent themselves based on their own transformation drivers and readiness to apply digital technologies.

“…It has been observed [3] that coronavirus pandemic accelerates digital transformation. Due to such of their properties as remote and autonomous operations, unmanned systems were essentially utilised in the state of the pandemic [4] where among the most important actions were isolation, contact monitoring, public distancing, and contact and community quarantines [5], [6].…”

This paper presents the result of an investigation how Unmanned Aviation Systems were applied in the first half of 2020 in response to the coronavirus COVID-19 challenges. The application cases collected and referenced in this paper are pandemic specific only even though many of them may be considered as typical. An important discovery was that the majority of limitations preventing the high spread of UAS applications are not technological. Nevertheless, innovative technologies, application cases and services that have originated during the pandemic period are expected to evolve and adapt to other situations and shape the future markets.
