A prototype telepresence robot for use in the investigation of ebola and lassa virus threatened villages in Nigeria

~ 75108be3edf9ff6e84ac91fc3859e594.200x200
The article investigates the idea of low-cost, telepresence-based mobile robots for eventual use within villages and rural areas in Nigeria, where diseases such as the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) and Lassa Haemorrhagic Fever (LHF) are common, yet human intervention is constrained due to the great risk of transmission through bodily fluids. To illustrate the concept and practical issues arising, a...
