Robovie, a humanoid robot in Japan, warns customers about wearing their Covid-19 protective mask when it detects through a camera and 3D laser technology they are not complying with the safety regulations.

The robot was recently “hired” from a store in Japan to take on the task of ensuring that customers wear a protective mask and keep safe distances to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The assigning of the task to Robovie was undertaken in the framework of a trial that began last week and will last at least until the end of the month. This will be extended depending on the situation, according to the ATR.
