With many new technological breakthroughs and products created and further popularized across China amid the COVID-19 outbreak, Zhuyuan Kindergarten of Suzhou Foreign Language School has procured smart preschool screening robots to protect pupils from the virus.
Manufactured by Suzhou Walklake Smart System Co Ltd, a Jiangsu-based technology solution provider and robot manufacturer, the preschool screening robots can effectively inspect children's body temperatures, eyes, hands and mouths in several seconds by using precise medical-grade sensors.
Adopting smart robots can effectively help safeguard students' physical condition. It will help parents, teaching and administrative staff better understand pupils' health information, and monitor abnormalities well, said Dong Bin, general principal of Suzhou Foreign Language School, which runs 12 schools and kindergartens throughout East China's Jiangsu province.
The school group made preparations and drills for anti-epidemic activities to ensure its operation as early as February, Dong said, adding it is critical to take multiple measures to protect students' well-being through scientific prevention and control measures.
