Harsha De Silva, designed a robot called ‘votex 2020’

Harsha De Silva, a final year undergraduate of SLIIT who is currently following Computer Systems & Network Engineering designed a robot called ‘votex 2020’ in collaboration with fellow researchers, Vishen Tharuka Dias from Wayamba University and Pasindu Dilhara from Rajarata University.
This masterpiece was developed for the health workers who are engaging closely with COVID-19 (coronavirus) patients to minimize their direct contacts with the patients. The robot can transport up to 20kg of product to a patient and communicate with the patient remotely via a remote control. Further, the robot can safely transport food items to the patient, thereby minimizing hospital staff’s collision with the patient.
