理解机器人化的流行病应对：全球和加拿大机器人部署和成功因素的比较
Making Sense of the Robotized Pandemic Response: A Comparison of Global and Canadian Robot Deployments and Success Factors
摘要：
从消毒和远程分诊，到物流和交付，世界各国都在利用机器人来应对COVID-19疫情带来的独特挑战。在加拿大，机器人也被用来管理这一流行病，但相对于其他地区，我们在采用机器人方面更为谨慎-尽管加拿大机器人目前在全球舞台上发挥着重要作用。本白皮书讨论了为什么会出现这种情况，并认为迫切需要对加拿大机器人产业进行战略投资和支持，以将机器人技术的好处带回家，我们在塑造这种改变游戏规则的技术的未来方面拥有更多的控制权。这些投资不仅有助于支持加拿大目前的大流行应对和大流行后的复苏，而且还将使该国做好应对未来危机的准备。如果没有这样的支持，加拿大可能会落后于目前正在大力投资硬件自动化的其他发达国家。
英文摘要：
From disinfection and remote triage, to logistics and delivery, countries around the world are making use of robots to address the unique challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Robots are being used to manage the pandemic in Canada too, but relative to other regions, we have been more cautious in our adoption -- this despite the important role that robots of Canadian origin are now playing on the global stage. This white paper discusses why this is the case, and argues that strategic investment and support for the Canadian robotics industry are urgently needed to bring the benefits of robotics home, where we have more control in shaping the future of this game-changing technology. Such investments will not only serve to support Canada's current pandemic response and post pandemic recovery, but will also prepare this country to weather future crises. Without such support, Canada risks falling behind other developed nations that are investing heavily in hardware automation at this time.
