Introduction of the new coronavirus is still spreading around the world, in addition to isolation and prevention of the epidemic, urgent research and development of vaccines and other conventional actions, artificial intelligence technology in the fight against the epidemic is also playing an unprecedented ability. Here's an inventory of which AI technologies have played an active role in the fight against the epidemic.
New Coronavirus Detection Technology
As we all know, the new Coronavirus is very "cunning" and has a long incubation period. Therefore, it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive to detect the virus. Currently, artificial intelligence has been applied to the tracking and detection of the new coronavirus, using big data and AI technology to analyze CT scan images and assist in the detection of patients. Wuhan University People's Hospital is committed to scanning for the new coronavirus using deep learning technology, which has detected the new coronavirus with 95% accuracy. The addition of artificial intelligence technology makes the new coronavirus scanning not only time-saving, but also avoids cross-infection.
Disinfecting robots on line
For infected areas, apart from isolation, one of the most important aspects is to disinfect the area. However, human sterilization alone is not only a slow process, but also prone to infection. This is where disinfection robots come into play. The working principle of the disinfection robot is to add vision system, disinfection equipment and process control system on the basis of the existing mobile platform, so that the robot can "hear" the instructions through several walls and move autonomously to the indicated position, so as to realize automatic disinfection controlled by human-machine remote integration. Of course, not only in the infected area, train stations, airports and other areas will also use the robot disinfection.
Real-time monitoring of body temperature in public **** areas
At present, most companies have started to resume work, and public **** areas such as train stations and airports are beginning to recover. The increase in foot traffic has put a lot of pressure on the staff to take measurements. In response to this, crowd temperature rapid screening and identification has been applied. Scanning machine, through the infrared camera to quickly identify the crowd of high temperature people, and then according to the body and face information of the suspected fever, through the AI technology to identify and analyze the information of the people, can assist all kinds of public **** place staff to quickly screen the temperature abnormal people, and the bandwidth of the high fever alarm can reach 15 people per second.
New Coronavirus Drug Screening
In the long run, the fundamental solution to curbing the progression of the epidemic is to rapidly develop antiviral drugs. The combination of AI algorithms and high-performance computing power can be used for the development of antiviral drugs and vaccines. In China, Zhejiang Shulan Hospital cooperation centers around the development of fast Cryo-EM 3D imaging technology based on deep learning, deep neural networks fusing topological and geometrical features for ligand-protein prediction, protein structure prediction based on deep learning, and the use of protein sequences to predict the 3D structure of proteins and other focuses for the development of antiviral drugs.
It has to be said that AI is still a good helper in suppressing and eradicating new coronaviruses, but ultimately the battle is ultimately won by humans.
