Corolla's telepresence robot has been developed in Spain to help a patient communicate with his family. This robot is useful in talking to their relatives when corona patients experience loneliness in the hospital. The robot's main job is to help professionals working in nursing homes and hospitals.

"We have been able to communicate with Corona's patient, who is being treated in an isolated room, by video call with his friends and relatives," said Professor Juan Pedro Bandera, who works at the school's School of Telecommunications.

The researchers explained that in this the patient's relatives or friends can book a video call for an hour using the robot's simple web interface. He then goes to the patient's room and starts the video call at the appointed time. When the video call is over, the robot is disinfected again and adjusted to its restarting location.

Slightly taller than a meter, this robot has a cylindrical body and can make simple gestures. It has audio-visual features and is automatically moved and adjusted.

Another important task is to go to the common area of ​​this robot nursing home and do daily advertisements. Which helps elderly patients to carry out their daily activities. It also has the facility to view and send photos.
