SHANGHAI - Researchers at one of China’s top universities have designed a robot they say could help save lives on the frontline during the coronavirus outbreak.

We can use robots to perform the most dangerous tasks.” Gathering a team, Zheng set to work converting two mechanized robotic arms with the same technology used on space stations and lunar explorers. The robots were almost entirely automated, and could even disinfect themselves after performing actions involving contact, Zheng said.
