With Egypt facing a second coronavirus wave, Mechatronics engineer Mahmoud el-Koumi is currently carrying outtrials on a self-funded prototype for a remote-controlled robot to assist physicians in running tests on suspected Covid-19 patients.

The move is in a bid to limit human exposure to disease-carriers, at a private hospital in Egypt's Nile Delta city of Tanta.

The accomplished engineer explains the early stages of the trial process.

"Before starting its mission, the robot receives training to improve its AI. The training is done by a specialist doctor, the AI in this training acts like a human doctor."
