Tirupati: A robot to serve Covid patients!

Tirupati: A B Com (computer science) graduate K Pavan of Moram village in Palamaner mandal of Chittoor district has come out with a robot, his new invention to help the frontline health warriors during the Covid-19 pandemic.

He has a great passion for electronics since his childhood, which has resulted in number of useful inventions by setting up 'Pavan Empower Solutions' and got accolades from former President of India Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.

This time he thought of the difficulties being faced by frontline health warriors in treating Covid positive patients as the disease is very much infectious.

He tried to find out a solution to make the health workers avoid direct contact with patients but to provide all that may be needed by those in quarantine or isolation.

He developed this idea and came up with much useful 'Covid-19 Robot'. This robotic innovation helps the doctors and nurses to give the required medication, food and other things to the patients from a distance of 100 metres.

Pavan told The Hans India that it has another great feature which is its 2-way voice and video command with a wireless-camera feature too in which the doctors can communicate and watch the video through smart phone/iPad.

It can rotate 360 degrees and to be operated with the help of a remote control.

He feels that it can be useful at quarantine centres and outpatient wings by helping the health workers avoid direct contact with the patients. He looks for government support to take up the innovation further.

The tech-savvy Pavan's other projects include, windmill and solar power generating system, GSM pump controller and gate valve on/off, agriculture solar sprayer, GSM security system, solar windmill bike and several others.
