We explore the opportunities and challenges surrounding the use of disinfection robots to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in health care and educational settings. Although there is some potential for deploying robots to help with manual cleaning, the evidence base is mixed, and we highlight that there needs to be work to establish and enhance the effectiveness of these robots in inactivating the virus.
我们探讨了使用消毒机器人在医疗保健和教育环境中降低新冠病毒传播风险所带来的机遇与挑战。尽管部署机器人协助人工清洁存在一定潜力,但证据并不确凿,我们强调需要开展工作来确立并提高这些机器人灭活病毒的有效性。
