Proyects 🎇
ROBOT TO HELP MEDICAL STAFF
Several Chinese companies have developed different robots so that packages can be delivered without any contact with other people. They also use these robots to spray disinfectants or perform basic diagnostic functions in order to minimize the risk of infection.
For example, Pudu technology has always made robots to restore or fix things, but thanks to the pandemic, more than 40 hospitals in Chin have used them to help medical personnel.
Another means they are using to combat the virus and the contagion is drones that carry medical specimens and perform thermal imaging.
Another way in which they are converting the virus is using robots to deliver food, specifically the robot in the photo belongs to a hotel in China that serves to bring food and water to the hotel rooms so that people do not have to leave their rooms, to monitor the exit and entry of people, they are also using cameras.
This robot has been of great use to manage the whole situation of the pandemic, since it practically doesn't need of any manipulation or accompaniment of some person so that it can deliver its food, the only function of a person in this process is to prepare the food and to put it in the robot, from there on this one continues its way alone, this robot is capable of raising the elevator and mark the floor where it should arrive thanks to its advanced technology and programming, when it arrives at the door of the hotel room, calls on the phone and reports its presence so you can deliver the food, and when the person opens the door this robot has a compartment in his belly where it is the food that later the person collects for this robot finally go.
ROBOTIC ARM
The robotic arm has been very useful in these times of pandemic. It is an arm on wheels that can perform ultrasounds, take samples from the mouth, and listen to patients with a stethoscope. These tasks are done directly by medical personnel. But with the robot-equipped with cameras-they do not need to be in the same room and could even be in another city. All of this helps ensure that doctors who treat patients with COVID-19 do not contract the virus. "We can use robots to do the most dangerous tasks," the doctors say. The idea came to him during the Lunar New Year. Wuhan had just been quarantined and the number of cases and deaths was rising rapidly, so it was good to use this robot for this task.
Engineer Zheng Gangtie transformed two mechanized arms with the same technology used in space stations. The robots were almost completely automated and could even be disinfected after performing actions involving contact with patients, I have explained.
The equipment has two robots, which have been tested by doctors in Beijing hospitals. One is still in the university's laboratory, but the other is at Wuhan Union Hospital, where the doctors began testing it.

"Math is starting to look more and more like solving a puzzle.
So does physics, but these are puzzles created by nature, not by the mind of humans."

Wang Zhenyi 👩🔬
Scientist
Wang Zhenyi was a famous scientist of the Qing dynasty.
She dedicated herself to studying areas such as astronomy, mathematics, geography and medicine. In mathematics Zhenyi was an expert in trigonometry and it was she who rewrote the book "Principle of Calculus" by mathematician Mey Wending in a much simpler language so that it could be easily understood by students. She also worked on simplifying multiplications and divisions to make them much easier.
In astronomy, Wang studied common phenomena. Some well-known articles by the scientist were "On the explanation of lunar eclipses" "The explanation of the Solar eclipse", "About longitude and stars" and "About the procession of the equinoxes".
In addition, he collected data on the weather to try to find solutions to the droughts and floods that his region was suffering.
"Women are made to feel that they are the same as men; aren't you convinced that daughters can be heroic too" -- "When people talk about learning and science, they don't think about women" -- "Women shouldn't just cook and sew, and they shouldn't be bothered to write articles for publication, study history, compose poems or do calligraphy" -- "They are people, who have the same reason for studying".
