“…Dr. Spot also has a tablet screen to perform telemedicine. Drones [47] , [66] , [67] have the advantage of not being restricted by the terrain, and can be equipped with different temperature sensing components, such as IR sensor, thermometer, thermal camera, etc. Thus, drones are effective in screening the temperature in public places.…”

“…Transport by drone is 8 to 12 times faster than ground vehicles and virtually noiseless [179] . As new lockdown periods took hold in the latter part of the pandemic, many countries turned to aerial delivery in order to keep people safe [66] , [180] . This pandemic may also lead top retailers like Amazon and Walmart to accelerate automation to lessen their dependence on human labor [181] .…”

As a result of the difficulties brought by COVID-19 and its associated lockdowns, many individuals and companies have turned to robots in order to overcome the challenges of the pandemic. Compared with traditional human labor, robotic and autonomous systems have advantages such as an intrinsic immunity to the virus and an inability for human-robot-human spread of any disease-causing pathogens, though there are still many technical hurdles for the robotics industry to overcome. This survey comprehensively reviews over 200 reports covering robotic systems which have emerged or have been repurposed during the past several months, to provide insights to both academia and industry. In each chapter, we cover both the advantages and the challenges for each robot, finding that robotics systems are overall apt solutions for dealing with many of the problems brought on by COVID-19, including: diagnosis, screening, disinfection, surgery, telehealth, care, logistics, manufacturing and broader interpersonal problems unique to the lockdowns of the pandemic. By discussing the potential new robot capabilities and fields they applied to, we expect the robotics industry to take a leap forward due to this unexpected pandemic.

“…There are studies [1] estimating that up to 400,000 drones will be providing services in the airspace by 2050, with a total market value of 10 billion euros per year by 2035. Last-mile delivery [2], surveillance [3], infrastructure inspection [4], traffic monitoring [5], media production [6], or managing health emergency situations [7] are just a few examples of the wide spectrum of drone applications. Indeed, the integration of UAS in the civil airspace is probably one of the most revolutionary events for Air Traffic Management (ATM) since the beginning of its implementation.…”

Unmanned Aerial Traffic Management System Architecture for U-Space In-Flight Services

This paper presents a software architecture for Unmanned aerial system Traffic Management (UTM). The work is framed within the U-space ecosystem, which is the European initiative for UTM in the civil airspace. We propose a system that focuses on providing the required services for automated decision-making during real-time threat management and conflict resolution, which is the main gap in current UTM solutions. Nonetheless, our software architecture follows an open-source design that is modular and flexible enough to accommodate additional U-space services in future developments. In its current implementation, our UTM solution is capable of tracking the aerial operations and monitoring the airspace in real time, in order to perform in-flight emergency management and tactical deconfliction. We show experimental results in order to demonstrate the UTM system working in a realistic simulation setup. For that, we performed our tests with the UTM system and the operators of the aerial aircraft located at remote locations with the consequent communication issues, and we showcased that the system was capable of managing in real time the conflicting events in two different use cases.
