Hercules自动驾驶汽车，在中国多个城市用于非接触式货物运输和道路消毒。Tiseni等人提出了一种基于辐射物理学的路径规划算法，用于使用紫外C型灯的自主消毒机器人。该算法进行了验证，在几个房间的差分驱动移动的机器人配备了塔灯。Tamantini等人报告了在意大利医院的COVID 19治疗中心内使用商业自动命名机器人的两个月情况。该机器人可用于后勤支持或区域消毒。RuizdelSolar等人描述了在短短八周内开发和部署的远程存在Pudu机器人。这些机器人已在智利两家医院使用，以促进COVID 19患者和医护人员之间的沟通。更具体的COVID 19相关任务也已经用机器人工具解决，例如Xie等人描述的用于咽喉测试的自动机器人拭子，这减少了与患者的接触，以及开源，低成本的呼吸机，设计和开发仅在三个星期内，由Gafford等人描述。这一系列文章显示了国际机器人社区如何在相对较短的时间内参与并应对COVID 19大流行，以及它如何继续发展。它提供了一个全面的概述，机器人技术可以在许多方面有助于紧急情况，如这种传染病带来的。最后，本特刊中所描述的经验为机器人社区提供了重要的贡献，包括经验教训和未来的挑战。
Hercules autonomous vehicle, which was employed both for contactless transportation of goods and for road disinfection in several Chinese cities. Tiseni et al. propose an irradiation physicsbased pathplanning algorithm for autonomous disinfection robots using ultraviolet typeC lamps. The algorithm was validated in several rooms with a differential drive mobile robot equipped with a tower of lamps. Tamantini et al. report on the two month use of a commercial auto nomous robot inside a COVID19 treatment center in an Italian hospital. The robot could be adapted either for logistics support or for area disinfection. RuizdelSolar et al. describe the tele presence Pudu robots, developed and deployed in just eight weeks. These robots have been used in two Chilean hospitals to facilitate communica tion between COVID19 patients and healthcare workers. More specific COVID19related tasks have also been addressed with robotic tools, such as the automatic robotic swab for throat test ing described by Xie et al., which reduc es contact with patients, and the open source, lowcost ventilator, designed and developed in only three weeks, as described by Gafford et al. This collection of articles shows how the international robotics community has engaged in and responded to the COVID19 pandemic in a relatively short time and how it can continue to evolve. It offers a thorough overview of the many ways robotics technologies can contribute to an emergency like the one brought by this infectious disease. Ultimately, the experiences described in this special issue provide an important contribution to the robotics community in terms of lessons learned and the chal lenges ahead.
