# S4 Features and Artificial Intelligence for Designing a Robot against COVID-19--[PERSON]
## 6 The Tasks That Robocov Can Perform  
As a modular system, the proposed Robocov platform can accomplish a fair number of tasks. As shown by the bubble cart in Figure 23[23], the installed module allows attaining specific tasks to increase the number of performed tasks. However, the robot is based on a leading platform, so the specific module can be selected to maintain the cost of the robot low. For instance, when the UV module is selected, a specific UV lamp can be installed according to the sanitization requirements as the area that requires to be sanitized and the time for achieving this task. Thus, the designer can tailor the elements of each module based on the requirements and the primary platform limits.  
* Public Safety
* Clinical Care
* Continuity of work and education
* Quality of Life
* Laboratory and supply chain automation
* Non-hospital care

Public safety is a concerning area in today's pandemic panorama. The contribution of the Robocov in this particular area includes: (i) disinfection of public spaces; (ii) possible identification of infected; (iii) remote monitoring of symptoms; and (iv) public package delivery; these tasks can be achieved with the disinfecting, monitoring, and cargo modules. Subsequently, the clinical care action is identified as (i) Health care telepresence, (ii) remote temperature measurement, (iii) UV light sanitizing, (iv) atomizer sanitizing, (v) remote symptoms survey. The clinical care task can be carried out with only two modules, disinfecting and monitoring system.  
Regarding the continuity of work and education area, the Robocov can get sanitized spaces and have a remote interaction with the students. These tasks have a low cost of operation and require a minimum number of modules. Robocov can also impact the quality of life in the scholar sector, and a package delivery service can be implanted owing to its remote operation. Moreover, a public sanitation service can be provided instead of a programmed operation; the social features of the Robocov, such as a two-way interaction, can also help to include the Robocov as an interactive asset, this impacts how the user perceives the robot daily, making it part of the academic life.  
Finally, the laboratory and supply chain automation and no-hospital care areas of application are analyzed. The former can use the cargo module for remote handling of hazardous materials in a laboratory environment, and it also can operate in infectious spaces minimizing the risk of transmission. In addition, its operation can be scheduled and automated owing to the onboard line follower features, allowing the implementation of scheduled routes for disinfecting and cargo tasks. On the other hand, no-hospital care includes using the Robocov platform for testing in a remote and hazardous location. It can be delivered to quarantine zones and be used as a safe two-way communication line for quarantine social interaction.  
Overall, and despite the application area, each module's fundamental task and objectives remain unchanged. These basic tasks can be comprehended as disinfection and monitoring, and Figure 24 shows the actual and functional prototypes to achieve such tasks.  
The basic monitoring features are accomplished owing to a designed GUI, and this interface is used to interact with the users before their identity through the RFID card reader. Figure 25 shows the implemented interface as the positioning of the card reader and the temperature sensor used for the symptoms survey. In addition, Figure 26 shows the users' use in the field of this module.
