I love their robots. The Spot that is patrolling in Singapore park is equipped with cameras. It is operated by an operator and the advantage of Spot is that it can walk on different terrain. Check out the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spot robot patrolling Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park | The Straits Times\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/viuR7N6E2LA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the trial, NPark personnel will follow it to ensure that everything is okay. One of the purposes to deploy Spot is that it helps to reduce or eliminate human interaction when advising the public to maintain social distancing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first time Spot is being deployed during the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore. It is also present at the Singapore Expo helping to deliver medicine to COVID-19 patients. In fact, there are a variety of robots helping out performing different tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Community isolation facility for Covid-19 patients showcases Smart Nation capabilities\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aYv7etdtMuU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And here is one that encourage you to go home instead of loitering in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Robot tells joggers to stay home in Singapore\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IoWfOfjBId0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess the COVID-19 pandemic has really force Governments to use technology to reduce the risk of infection through human interaction.
