With the spread of COVID-19, the use of robots has also expanded. Kawasaki Heavy Industries has installed an automatic temperature measurement system with a collaborative two-arm SCARA robot “duAro2”.
Kawasaki installed the system in Kobe’s “Kawasaki Good Times World”, Hyogo prefecture. In Tokyo.
How does it work?
This system incorporates a non-contact temperature sensor in the right hand of the robot and an open bar in the left hand.
When entering, a person must approach his forehead to the sensor and place his hands on the sensor, the system begins to measure body temperature. If the temperature is below the regularization,, the bar opens. If the temperature is higher, the cobot automatically informs the manager.
The kawasaki duAro Collaborative series was created in such a way that it could safely interact with people.
The duAro2 is largely agile and can be learned through direct teaching (that is, through movement instructions given by the operator and then imitated by the robot). This makes it adaptable to various processes.
For safety reasons, the material from which the robots are made is soft, if during the operation the robot detects a collision it will interrupt the movement process immediately
Kawasaki World automatically checks the body temperature of visitors and prevents the spread of COVID-19. Visitors do not have to come into contact with people as they monitor their body temperature and help prevent the spread of the virus.
