The outbreak of coronavirus has caused a lot of devastation across the globe. Many have lost their lives where some others are critically ill at hospitals. The virus humbled the world's medical technologies and expertise. If the nations of the world knew COVID-19 would cause such havoc, they would have shut their borders as soon as the virus was discovered in Wuhan, China.
The virus has killed close to one million people across the world. It has also plummeted the economy of many nations.
Many of these countries, in a bid of saving their nations from total economy downturn, are opening up economic activities. People are urged to practice the safety guidelines as stated by WHO. One of the ways of reducing the infection rate of COVID-19 is by decontaminating surfaces that have been exposed to the virus. Disinfectants are sprayed on the streets, market places, malls and worship centres.
Robots are also being used in some places to carry out this task. One of the pioneers in this type of robot technology is Octopus Robot.
Octopus Robot is based in France. They having been developing robots that fight off pandemics since 20 years. The robots are intelligent and capable of decontaminating equipment, food storage facilities, food warehouses and large buildings. Octopus Robots have been used in the time past to disinfect poultry and other places such as airports, shopping malls etc.
Octopus is stepping further in their innovation by creating a robot called Octopus Biosafety. This robot was specially designed to help in the fight against COVID-19. The Octopus Biosafety is a mobile, intelligent, fully autonomous and modular robot. It has a long- lasting battery which can recharge itself; making it operational 24/7.
Features of Octopus Biosafety
The robots are all versatile and a common multipurpose base.
The Octopus robots perform better than most of the others in the market which are not well equipped.
The robots are autonomous, i.e they can move and execute commands by themselves.
Octopusrobots is partnering with COVIR. IO using a smart contract on Tezos Blockchain. This partnership will ensure people from all over the world can participate in the project. They intend to use the blockchain technology to fight coronavirus using Octopus Biosafety technology.
COVIR TOKEN
Octopus Robots is tokenizing Octopus Biosafety license on Tezos Blockchain. This is done in order to allow them raise fund for the mass production of Octopus Biosafety robots. COVIR token (CVR) is a Tozen blockchain based token which will be used on the platform. CVR token can be swapped for XTZ at the ratio of 10CVR to 1XTZ.
Conclusion
While the struggle to see coronavirus ends continues, Covir is partnering with Octopusrobots to scale up the production of Biosafety robots. They are tokenizing the Octopus robots licensing right on Tezos Blockchain. This will allow adequate funds needed to industrialize Biosafety robots to be raised as soon as possible. The Biosafety robots are to be used to decontaminate public places and the environment.
