In Beijing's Haidian Hospital, designated for treating patients with the novel coronavirus, medics say the robot Xiao Bao has been a huge relief for them.

The OrianStar robot has been working and trained by the medical workers there for a week. It goes around restrictive wards where suspected and/or infected coronavirus patients stay.

Remote controlled by health workers outside, the robot delivers medications, takes temperatures, and spends a lot of time telling patients about medical precautions.
