COVID-19: Role of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning During the Pandemic

Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to a global health emergency. Emerging from China, it has now been declared as a pandemic. Owing to the fast pace at which it spreads, its control and prevention have now become the greatest challenge. The inner structural analysis of the virus is an important area of research for the invention of the potential drug. The countries are following different strategies and policies to fight against COVID-19; various schemes have also been employed to cope up with the economic crisis. While the government is struggling to balance between the public health sector and the economic collapse, the researchers and medicine practitioners are inclined towards obtaining treatment and early detection of the deadly disease. Further, the impact of COVID-19 on Dentistry is alarming and posing severe threats to the professionals as well. Now, the technology is helping the countries fight against the disease. ML and AI based applications are substantially aiding the process of detection and diagnosis of novel coronavirus. Science of Robotics is another approach followed with an aim to improve patient care.
