在武汉，电子商务公司京东启用自动驾驶机器人给医护人员送补给。 ZsUxO%jP
The bots, which look and run much like pint-sized vehicles, have been delivering packages to a hospital that primarily treats coronavirus patients. The route is relatively short — about 600 meters to the hospital — but cutting humans out of the equation has helped protect customers and employees. c:51In|~{C
这些机器人看起来很像一个矮小的小车，主要工作是给收治病人的医院送快递。路径不长，也就600米，但有了小车就能避免人员接触，从而保护医护人员也保护快递员。 M 0 x5s@

列举了中国抗疫机器人之后，他们还采访了休斯敦赖斯大学的机器人专家Marcia O'Malley教授，这位教授对中国机器人一顿狠夸： }&rf'E9
O'Malley said robots in China can do more than deliver medicine, however. Some can scan medicine inventory and remove outdated supplies. Others can spray disinfectants and can even prevent the spread of infectious diseases in public spaces. 23pHB |X
O'Malley说中国的机器人能干的可不止是送药。有些能扫描药品库存，清理过期部分;有些能在公共场所喷洒消毒液以防止传染病传播。 2j 4VW0:
"Robots can help with decontamination and reducing human-to-human transmission risk by reducing exposure," O'Malley said. "Artificial intelligence might be helpful in data science aspects, tracking information about the spread of cases to determine risk profiles and identify ways to limit spread if we understand better how it is spread.” s3_i 5,y
他说：“机器人有助于消除污染，减少人在病毒污染环境中的暴露，从而减少人传人风险。AI或许能在数据科学方面起作用，追溯传染病的传播信息、确定危险程度，并找出限制传染病传播的办法。” (Y,
