如果你看过电影《异形：契约》，你可能对机器人没什么好感。但是在这个疫情肆虐的时刻，机器人却成为了人类的好帮手。从扫大街到给病人量体温，越来越多的机器人加入了抗疫第一线的工作。 The dog-like robot named Spot allows doctors to interact with COVID-19 patients via telemedicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.(BRIGHAM AND WOMEN'S HOSPITAL) ROBOTS ARE OFTEN CAST in popular science fiction as the villains – soulless automatons that take over the world and enslave mankind. But with the onset of the global coronavirus pandemic, robots are increasingly being employed as helpers, taking on often dull, difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans' exposure to COVID-19. 在热门科幻片中，机器人经常以反派的角色出现——统治世界、奴役人类，没有灵魂。然而，随着新冠肺炎疫情袭击全球，机器人越来越多地被当做助手，承担起通常单调、艰巨和危险的任务，从而减少人类和新冠病毒的接触。 Across the world, robotics companies are teaming with health care providers and government officials to develop technological solutions for dealing with the global health crisis. In China, robots with tank-like tread have rolled down streets spraying disinfectant. In at least one hospital in South Korea, robots are being used to check patients' temperatures and dispense hand sanitizer.
