论文摘要
从消毒和远程分类，到物流和交付，世界各地都在利用机器人来应对COVID-19-19大流行带来的独特挑战。机器人也被用来管理加拿大的大流行，但是相对于其他地区，我们的采用率更加谨慎 - 尽管加拿大起源机器人现在在全球舞台上发挥着重要作用。这份白皮书讨论了为什么是这种情况，并认为迫切需要对加拿大机器人行业的战略投资和支持来带回家的好处，在这种情况下，我们在塑造这种改变游戏的技术的未来方面拥有更多的控制权。这样的投资不仅将支持加拿大目前的大流行反应和大流行后的复苏，而且还将为该国的未来危机做好准备。没有这样的支持，加拿大风险落后于其他发达国家，这些国家目前正在投资于硬件自动化。
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.
