Russian media: Chinese robotic dogs may become a powerful tool in the fight against the dengue virus!
August 19, TASS report.
Using robotic dogs can increase the efficiency of China's efforts to combat mosquitoes that spread the dengue virus.
Engineer Anton Rogachev said that China has the capability to rapidly increase the production of these systems for large-scale use.
According to the South China Morning Post, these robotic dogs will be used starting in September to spray insecticides in areas difficult for humans to reach.
This measure aims to alleviate the burden on employees who spray anti-mosquito agents in hot weather.
If the tests are successful, the department plans to increase the number of robotic dogs used.
This is a good initiative that can bring significant results: walking robots are most suitable for moving on rough terrain, they do not get infected by mosquito bites, and they do not get tired in hot weather.
China may become the first country to use this system on a large scale to combat mosquitoes that spread chikungunya and other viruses.
Russian media pointed out that China has the capacity to quickly increase production to the required level without major reforms in the industry, as it has already developed quite successfully.
Russian experts said that the global robot system market focuses more on the development of large models, but robots weighing no more than 12 kilograms can also complete the task of spraying pesticides.
Last week, an outbreak was reported in China, with Hong Kong reporting one new case of dengue fever, bringing the city's total cases to nine.
Earlier, an outbreak of the dengue virus occurred in early July, when the weather in Guangdong province was hot and humid, which is conducive to the breeding of mosquitoes that transmit the virus.
Infected individuals experience fever, chills, back pain, joint pain, and rashes.
