Whilst Boston Dynamics is the creator of most robotics that will send shivers down the spine of anti futurists, this technology makes sense, and will make a huge difference in the war against COVID-19
The robotics firm has developed a healthcare toolkit that it hopes will allow mobile robots to carry out essential functions that reduce the exposure of frontline healthcare staff to COVID-19. This includes allowing clinicians to speak to patients suspected of having COVID-19 remotely, measuring vital signs and transporting supplies.
Making this open source is very noble indeed, and allows others to leverage that same technology.
