The robots include a food delivery robot, sanitizing robot, and directional guiding robot that can help people avoid unnecessary human contact. They are currently being utilized across 10 provinces in Chinese hospitals. **Source:** -- [In China’s hospitals, robots are helping to halt the spread of coronavirus]() -https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/trio-of-robots-china-hospitals/) +- [In China’s hospitals, robots are helping to halt the spread of coronavirus](https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/trio-of-robots-china-hospitals/) China has become the world’s largest market for industrial robotics and the fastest-growing market worldwide, surging 21% to $5.4 billion in 2019, while global sales hit $16.5 billion, according to the International Federation of Robotics in Frankfurt. China counts more than 800 robot makers, including major players SIASUN and DJI Innovations. China is on track to account for 45% of all industrial robot shipments by 2021, up from 39% in 2019. One robot that can work a 24-hour shift can replace three workers and cost in the range of $43,000 to $72,000. With salaries in China going up as much as 20% annually in recent years, China business consultant Bill Edwards foresees an inevitable push to robotics. “Wages in China are no longer cheap,” he observed.
