Combating COVID-19 with Artificial Intelligence

COVID-19 is a huge problem for the world, as of this posting some of the most recent numbers are estimated a little over 100,000 deaths in the whole world. We need solutions, and we need them as soon as possible. Many leaders in the field of robotics think that AI could be a potential solution. Most of what they plan on using robots for would be telemedicine, decontamination, delivering and handling of contaminated waste, and monitoring compliance with voluntary quarantine. This would help reduce the amount of confirmed cases, anything that can help with this epidemic should be looked into.
