Developed by the Corps of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers of the Indian Army, the vehicle is designed to deliver essential items to healthcare workers in the frontline. This machine was revealed in a post on Twitter by the ADGPI Indian Army.
The post included numerous images of the remote-controlled trolley which is fitted with a washbasin as well as a dustbin. It has some storage space too that can come in handy in hospital isolation rooms.
The post said, ¡°Indian Army EME as part of anti-COVID measures has innovated a remotely operated vehicle which can deliver essentials to personnel from 100 feet as part of social distancing.¡±
100 feet or 30 metres is perfect for using indoors as his way, not much staff will have to enter isolation wards, reducing reliance on PPE (personal protective equipment) since everyone entering isolation wards would need to wear it, while also reducing their chances of getting infected by the novel coronavirus.

Another tweet further stated, ¡°This will decrease human contact and chances of infection from spreading. We will fight COVID together.¡±
The trolley is the perfect example of simple and practical. They¡¯ve essentially used an already perfect trolley design and just upgraded it a bit with electronic wheels and manoeuvring hardware to help it move in the direction they want it to.
