Spot is a four-legged robot that became comercially available last year. Due to the pandemic, Spot has learned some tricks. Multiple Spots have been delivering food to patients that are quarantined, and even danced in baseball games (substituting humans). There was a robot that observed people and played a pre-recorder track that said "let's keep Singapore healthy".

In other states, such as Boston, Spot was equipped with an iPad to greet new people, also being able to take temperatures, measure respiration and even the blood oxygen (all these without being in the same room). These experiments have allowed humans to be kept out of hazardous jobs that bring many people together.

During the pandemic, many facilities have been trying to not run with a large number of people so that the virus doesn´t spreads. Robots have been helping with this situation as they can´t get sick, they can attend the people that is in a bad state and people that  are a risk of infection for others. Robots have been used for natural disasters and catastrophes so using them as first responders during the pandemic isn´t a bad idea. Many people have been thinking that even when the pandemic finishes, robots shpuld stay, they could be a great help in different areas of work and they can help people with hard jobs.

But even when robots had shown that most of there services are completing correctly and without any damage, even when they had shown that are pretty useful and functional, not everyone seems excited to start a new robot age. Between the opinions, some people said that the supposedly autonomy  of robots will always need human supervision to complete or solve some difficulties that a machine can face into a human work. Also, there’s always the fear for the jobs that belong to people, but as it always said: the principal function of the robost is to hold the protection and health of the employees and not to replace them. But as I said on the beginning, even when some specfic robots had been prove to be completely functional, still people appear to refuse the whole idea of robots doing human work and this is a real problem if we compare it with the many robot makers who are offering products. But even so, most of the robots during pandemic had show us how, where and why to insert robots into daily life.
