'Robocop-style helmets can detect coronavirus sufferers' use
hands-free fever detection
The police Wearing a "RoboCop"-style smart helmet while standing
guard at a mall gate attracted the gaze of many passersby,
especially when the helmet would speak up on its own: "Maximum body
temperature is 36.4 degrees Celcius, please pass."
Local epidemic prevention and control worker, began wearing the
Al-powered smart helmet a few days ago while on duty. It has an
eight-hour stand-by time
and is safer and more effective than a hand-held thermometer.
The smart helmet, which looks similar to motorcycle helmets, can
automatically pinpoint a person running a fever within a 5-meter
radius.
Anyone scanned within the target range whose body temperature
exceeds 37.3 degrees Celsius will trigger a sound-light alarm on
the helmet. The wearable
apparatus is able to identify and record body temperatures of more
than 100 people in less than two minutes.
"RoboCops" with futuristic-looking helmets have been found recently
at subway entrances, large conference sites and on pedestrian
streets in several
metropolises like Chengdu, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Body temperature readings of passerby can be seen overhead on a
vitual reality display screen through the helmet's viewing portal.
It helps lock onto those
with fevers quickly and safely among the crowds
Since the novel coronavirus epidemic broke out, Chengdu has been
using smart helmets, temperature measuring robots and drones to aid
epidemic
prevention and control. As resumption of work and production is
about to peak, more high-tech applications will come into play.
