HKTDC: Agile Start-Up Sends in Robots
Flexibility is the key as disinfecting, Roborn’s temperature monitoring machines go through their paces in Hong Kong and look to ASEAN markets.

As technology powers ahead rapidly, Hong Kong start-up Roborn believes applications that can adapt to the changing needs in different markets and sectors will come out winners. Guided by this philosophy, the company has developed intelligent robots for measuring body temperatures and disinfection to help contain the COVID-19 pandemic. The products target both the Hong Kong and overseas markets.
Local students are preparing for the new school term as summer holidays end. Roborn’s UVC Light Disinfection Robot is helping school staff sanitizing campuses for the back-to-school season.
Mr Mark Mak, the co-founder of Roborn will develop a 5G live-streaming robot, which will be used for video conferences.
During the radio interview, Mr Mark Mak and Prof Larry Poon, Co-founders of Roborn shared their market insights. Facing the COVID-19 outbreaks, their company developed several Smart Epidemic Prevention Robots for body temperature measurement, and disinfection of environment contaminated by new coronavirus with UV light.
Roborn Technology has developed some “epidemic prevention smart robots” that combine artificial intelligence, IoT, 5G and other modern technologies to replace manual body temperature detection with an accuracy of 99.99%. Once someone has a fever, an alarm will be issued immediately. Together with the tracking function, it makes it easier to identify potential patients and reduce the risk of community outbreak. Another robot Unicorn, uses ultraviolet light to kill the novel coronavirus in the environment. The robot has already been deployed in government departments or medical centers.
