Minimal-Infrastructure Robotic Delivery System for Non-Contact Logistics (MILo-RDS) will develop a fleet of logistics robots capable of autonomously coordinating delivery of vital supplies in ad-hoc arenas, such as the Nightingale hospitals, quickly established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapidly deployed nature of such spaces necessitates the need for a solution that doesn't rely on the cumbersome and time-consuming installation of communications infrastructure, and can facilitate the remote delivery of items, such as food and medicines. This both reduces the risk of exposure to frontline staff and helps protect patients. This project will draw for cutting-edge engineering research to develop a prototype solution for _minimal infrastructure deployment_, _non-contact autonomous delivery of supplies to multiple fixed destinations_, and _disinfection of robotic agents._

用于非接触式物流的最小基础设施机器人交付系统（MILo-RDS）将开发一个物流机器人车队，能够在特定场所自动协调重要物资的交付，例如为应对COVID-19大流行而迅速建立的南丁格尔医院。这些空间的快速部署性质需要一种解决方案，这种解决方案不依赖于繁琐和耗时的通信基础设施安装，并且可以促进食品和药品等物品的远程交付。这既降低了接触一线工作人员的风险，又有助于保护患者。该项目将吸引尖端的工程研究来开发一个原型解决方案，用于最小的基础设施部署，非接触式自主向多个固定目的地提供物资，以及机器人代理的消毒。
