Milagrow robot also performs the function of disinfecting and cleaning the COVID wards. Milagrow Human tech has installed Humanoid robots Milagrow 'ELF' at dedicated COVID-19 wards. The robot which was designed for the hospitality industry has been modified to suit the requirements of the healthcare sector. "This humanoid is specifically for the hospitality industry but when COVID-19 broke out and the reports started to come from Italy that almost 28 per cent to 30 per cent people in the healthcare sector were infected because of the proximity with the patients, then immediately our mind started to work, that how this robot can be used in actual infectious wards where distancing between the doctor and the patient is very important," Milagrow founder and Chairman Rajeev Karwal told ANI.
