Faced with a lack of staff during the coronavirus crisis hospitals are getting help from all sides students of medicine, medics who had long left the profession and soldiers. However a hospital in the town of Hoĝovice, west of Prague, has gone a step further. The staff there is being ably assisted by a humanoid robot.
Patients arriving at Hoĝovice Hospital are greeted by the latest addition to the staff a humanoid robot by the name of Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper was originally intended for the childrens ward to bring a bit of cheer to the smallest patients, but at the height of the coronavirus epidemic he was redirected to the hospitals reception to give incoming patients directions, diffuse tension and generate more goodwill in meeting the stated safety requirements.
Dr. Pepper is 120 cm tall, weighs around 30 kilograms and can do a straight 12-hour shift before he needs an electricity refill. He rolls on wheels and is able to move his arms and head. His eyes contain cameras and sensors that enable him to identify where and how far away each patient is and whether his directions are being followed.
