Robot Can Detect if People Are Wearing Masks
September 15th, 2020Via: Fox 5 NY:
A human-like robot called Pepper can now detect whether people are wearing a mask to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
Pepper uses cameras to scan the faces of up to 5 people in a group, simultaneously, in order to check if they are wearing a mask.
During the interaction, Pepper displays a green or red circle around the face on its tablet depending on whether the person is wearing a mask or not.
Partners and developers can add other features such as voice interaction to warn people that they are required to wear a mask. It can also alert businesses that people are not wearing masks.
