A smart mobile robot introduces itself in Kigali, capital of Rwanda, May 19, 2020. Rwanda on Tuesday said the country will put five high-tech robots into use to fight COVID-19 in its treatment centers. The robots, donated to the health ministry by the United Nations Development Program and the Rwandan Ministry of ICT and Innovation, have the capacity to screen 50 to 150 people per minute, deliver food and medication to patient rooms, capture data and notify officers on duty about detected abnormalities, said Rwandan health minister Daniel Ngamije.
