NANJING: Chinese researchers have developed a robotic sprayer that can help reduce the transmission of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) in heavily populated urban areas. The new air-blast machine, a vehicle fitted with caterpillar tracks, was used for agricultural spraying in the past. Researchers from Soochow University in east China's Jiangsu Province renovated its spraying system, making it more suitable for disinfectant liquid cleaners. The robotic sprayer can be remotely operated. It will be used in more local schools and communities, the researchers said.
