Pratik Tirodkar, a 23-year-old instrumentation engineer from Dombivli, created the robot and donated it to KDMC.

“The robot can serve water and food to 10 to 15 patients at a time. I built the robot as many health workers are getting infected,” said Tirodkar

On Friday, Tirodkar gave a demo of the robot at the KDMC headquarters.

“We have decided to use the robot at Holy Cross Covid hospital and see how feasible it is,” said Suryavanshi.
