Roborn co-founder Mark Mak introduced to China News Roborn’s recent development of a 5G robot called Freedom that can assist doctors in remote diagnosis. Mark told the reporter that the ordinary video conference system cannot meet the requirement of medical observation and have limitation of time delay. Therefore, Roborn made use of the low-latency characteristics of 5G to develop this robot that can instantly transmit 4k high-definition image to the back-end, to assist doctors in making remote diagnosis by providing real-time clear images or footage of patient.

The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam , held a press conference on measures to fight COVID-19 with the Secretary for Innovation and Technology, Mr Alfred Sit (left), at the Central Government Offices, Tamar on April 9, introducing technologies being used to prevent and combat epidemics including kNOw Touch, Outdoor Disinfection Robot “Sau Wu”.

The solution is self-developed by Roborn and equipped with a 12x optical zoom PTZ camera. The captured 4K and high-resolution video footage can be transmitted at an instant manner with 5G network, assisting the doctors on remote medical consultation. The solution is also expected to be applied to the remote surgery in the coming future.

Roborn Co-founder and CEO Prof Larry Poon was also interviewed. He said that in terms of strengthening I&T education, the curriculum has infiltrated I&T elements to cultivate scientific research talents from all walks of life, so as to make the industry sustainable and accelerate the development of Hong Kong.

Roborn Co-founder and CEO Prof Larry Poon was interviewed by Now Finance, in which he shared that Roborn is taking his role in promoting the kNOw Touch- a Contactless Elevator Control Panel solution to the market for widespread use by educating lift companies as well as end-user about the product knowledge and installation, and mass-producing the kNOw Touch products to supply the market.

Setting foot early in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Roborn takes full advantage of the mature production chain in the Pearl River Delta and the complete supply of various parts and components, not only benefitting from the regional specialization, but also gaining the opportunity of cooperating with the China Mobile and ZTE to jointly develop China’s first 5G motion control humanoid robot.
