These robots are helping fight COVID-19 on the frontline
In a world overwhelmed by the devastating coronavirus, robots are providing some relief to hospitals, restaurants, and beyond.

Boston Dynamics' Spot is already helping workers at Brigham and Women's Hospital for COVID-19 procedures. Because Spot does not require PPE, the hospital staff needn't worry about additional costs (especially considering the shortage of such equipment). The hound-like robot is also proving to be helpful for telemedicine and remote communication with patients.
