TOKYO'S ROBOT HOTELS FOR COVID PATIENTS
Two Hotels Are Being Used to Quarantine & Treat Patients
Staffed by Robots, Doctors and Nurses
For COVID patients with mild or no symptoms,
Tokyo has opened two robot hotels to take the
load off of hospitals. The hotels are staffed by
robots, doctors and nurses. With a capacity to
handle 2800 patient-guests, they are being used
as an innovative means to quarantine and
treat COVID patients.
Pepper and Company
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has
taken charge of the two hotels. Very popular
humanoid robot Pepper is at the hotels to
greet the arriving guests with positive messaging:
"Let's bring our hearts together and get through
this." Cleaning robots are deployed to clean
what the Japanese are calling "high risk red
zones".
Safer Than Home
The Tokyo government feels it's safer for the
mildly ill COVID patients to stay at the
hotels, which are loaded with technology
and medical staff to monitor them, rather
than to stay at home. This is another
example of robotic technology doing
a job with big exposure to the
coronavirus and keeping hotel employees
out of harms way.
