One semi-humanoid robot dubbed “Pepper” and another autonomous vacuum cleaner robot known as “Whiz” will be taking up their posts in five hotels in Japan's capital.Since April 17, the Tokyo metropolitan government has moved coronavirus patients with mild symptoms into select hotels in the capital to relieve pressure on hospitals.
“Quarantine life in the hotel is very daunting for the patients. I hope the robot can cheer them up and help make their time in the hotel as comfortable as possible," said Nasataka Tsuji, a spokesman from the Tokyo metropolitan government.
