Description

Robots started caring for COVID patients at hotels who are only mildly sick under a new plan to free up beds at hospitals overwhelmed with more severe cases. Pepper, a talking robot, greets new guests at the lobby, while Whiz, a cleaning robot, operates in areas where patients pick up meals and other daily necessities.
