Low-speed unmanned vehicles collectively fight the epidemic! Sweeping the floor, killing the virus, taking temperature, sending medicine and vegetables, it's really warm.

Words? |? Liumao

In early 2020, an COVID-19 epidemic caused by novel coronavirus swept through China.

In order to win this war without smoke, all kinds of automobile and travel-related industries, including automobile manufacturers and parts companies, have donated money and materials to show their love, and at the same time, they have paid close attention to the production of practical products such as negative pressure ambulances and unmanned delivery vehicles, and put them into the front line of anti-epidemic.

Among them, in the face of the emergency order for negative pressure ambulances issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, domestic traditional car companies including Jiangling Ford, Chery River and Fujian Benz began to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, shortening the production cycle of a negative pressure ambulance from 20 days to 30 days to about 10 days, which provided a strong guarantee for avoiding secondary infection of the virus.

At the same time, during the epidemic, we can also see the defense line composed of low-speed unmanned vehicles (various autonomous robots equipped with driverless technology).

Novel coronavirus mainly relies on respiratory droplets and contact transmission, so how to reduce contact between people and disinfect public spaces also needs careful planning.

Fortunately, unmanned food delivery vehicles, unmanned delivery vehicles and unmanned disinfection vehicles empowered by driverless technology have become an important force in the front line of anti-epidemic, serving as disinfection vehicles, indoor distribution vehicles, outdoor logistics vehicles and patrol cars in public places.

More than a dozen low-speed unmanned vehicle companies, including Baidu, JD.COM, Gaoxian Robot, Cool Wow Robot, Zhixing and Shi Yu Science and Technology, all participated in the fight against the epidemic. In Wuhan, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Qingdao and other Hubei cities, at least hundreds of low-speed unmanned vehicles of various models can be seen to participate in the fight against the epidemic.

To some extent, almost all low-speed unmanned vehicle companies have participated in the fight against the epidemic. While contributing to the fight against the epidemic, it also showed the development achievements and application scenarios of driverless technology to the outside world and the public, which played a good role in promoting the subsequent deployment of low-speed unmanned vehicles.

▲ Low-speed unmanned vehicles engaged in epidemic prevention and control work

First, meet the difficulties? Traditional car companies urgently produce negative pressure ambulances.

Negative pressure ambulance, also known as "mobile N95 mask", is an important line of defense to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus, just like medical protective clothing, N95 mask and medical goggles.

▲ Negative pressure ambulance belongs to key medical emergency prevention and control materials.

Compared with ordinary ambulances, negative pressure ambulances are characterized by the word "negative pressure".

Negative pressure ambulance is equipped with negative pressure device. Based on the principle that air can only flow from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area, air can only flow from the outside of the car to the inside of the car, and the air inside the car needs to be treated harmlessly in advance to avoid secondary infection.

At the same time, the isolated medical cabin in the car can form a fixed air flow field in the cabin, which is helpful to avoid cross-infection between doctors and patients and provide better protection for medical staff.

It is worth noting that the production process of negative pressure ambulance includes two parts: manufacturing the basic car and refitting. The equipment on the car involves the supply of various parts, so the cycle of producing a negative pressure ambulance is relatively long, generally taking about 20 to 30 days.

However, at present, the need for patient rescue and transportation is imminent. 65438124 October, when the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology distributed the first batch of 200 negative pressure ambulances to the whole country, it did not prepare enough production time. Beiqi Futian received the production task of 25 negative pressure ambulances, and the production time was 65438+1from October 24th to February 5th, *** 13 days.

Second, on-site antivirus? Deploy unmanned disinfection vehicles in hospitals and isolation points.

Although novel coronavirus is highly contagious, according to novel coronavirus's diagnosis and treatment plan (try the fifth edition? Revised version), this virus is still preventable and controllable.

Novel coronavirus is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and heat, and fatty solvents such as 56℃ for 30 minutes, ether, 75% ethanol, chlorine-containing disinfectant, peracetic acid and chloroform can also be effectively inactivated.

In other words, disinfection in public places such as hospitals and hotel isolation points is very important for cutting off the air and contacting the transmission routes of these two viruses.

In this case, unmanned disinfection vehicles produced by high-tech companies such as Gaoxian Robot and Shanghai Timi Robot also played a role.

1, Gaoxian robot helps Beijing hospital fight the epidemic.

Conclusion: Support the fight against the epidemic? Technology in action

In this national epidemic war, people are vulnerable to infection, and in addition, there are few indoor and outdoor people and vehicles in special periods, so low-speed unmanned vehicles have become the best epidemic prevention tools.

We can see a large number of related enterprises, including Baidu, JD.COM, Gaoxian Robot, Cool Wow Robot, Intelligent Walker, Neolithic, Shi Yu Science and Technology, YOGO Robot and so on. They have all participated in the fight against the epidemic, and there is a feeling that the low-speed unmanned vehicle industry is collectively rushing to the front line.

In this process, while contributing to the fight against the epidemic, they also showed the development achievements and application scenarios of driverless technology to the outside world and the public, which played a good role in promoting the subsequent deployment of low-speed unmanned vehicles.

However, we must also see that the working scenes and functions of these unmanned vehicles are still relatively simple, but the future can be expected. It is believed that with the continuous progress of technology, more unmanned vehicles will appear to help people live a better life.

Finally, I hope the COVID-19 epidemic will pass soon.
