2. • Autonomous systems definition
• Autonomous systems application for COVID-19
• Autonomous systems Research Topics
• Challenges

3. • Autonomous systems are machines and systems that are capable of performing a series of operations where the
sequence is determined by the outcome of the previous operation or by reference to external circumstances that are
monitored and measured within the system itself, like (drones, autonomous vehicle, robotics, … etc)

5. • monitor social distancing and face masks
• China is using drones to scold people for going outside and not wearing
masks and enforce social distancing.
• detect coughing
• Using a range of sensors and high definition cameras networked with
intelligence software, the drones can detect infectious and respiratory
conditions, even monitoring temperatures and heart and respiration rates of
people gathered at convention centers, border crossings, places of
employment, aboard cruise ships and even in some locations at senior care
centers.

6. • Logistic Vehicle for Contact-less Goods Transportation
• autonomous logistic vehicle used for contact-less goods transportation during
the outbreak of COVID-19. The vehicle is designed with autonomous
navigation capability.
• hardware and software details provided in
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.07480.pdf

7. • throat swabbing testing
• autonomous throat swabbing robot to test for the novel coronavirus n
order to help the medical staff to perform their duties without any
disruption. It can be very helpful to enhance the performance of the
medical staff and in turn, to contain the spread of the COVID-19.
• Intel Autonomous Virus-Killing Robots
• Robot prototype provided by Intel for disinfecting contaminated
surfaces using UV light. Its goal: help overburdened hospitals in the
fight against COVID-19.

8. • Care robots
• It able to unobtrusively monitor a vulnerable person's vital signs, detect
patterns and trends in their behaviour and health, identify problems, help
communication and social connections, and provide social and physical
assistance.

9. • Robotic and AI technologies for remote assessment, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.
• Autonomous robotics for disinfection, materials handling, and logistics in healthcare facilities
• Robotic and augmented-reality simulators for training healthcare workers.
• Wearable technologies and the Internet of Medical Things for monitoring COVID-19 symptoms.
