In order to minimize contact between medical personnel and patients with Covid-19 and reduce the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which is increasingly depleting, the Sepuluh November Institute of Technology (ITS) with Airlangga University and the Provincial Government of East Java have officially launched the Robot medical Assistant ITS-Airlangga (RAISA). This 1.5-meter tall RAISA robot is equipped with four stacking shelves which can carry a lot of goods up to 50 kilograms such as medicines, patient clothes, and foods to patient rooms. It also features a monitor for two-way communication between medical personnel and patients using multimedia. Patients can communicate with RAISA operators through the voice talk feature in the robot. RAISA is controlled using a remote control remotely with a joystick through Wifi connection.
