Artificial Intelligence Advanced Technology IoT, 5G Robots, and Drones to Combat COVID-19

Advancements in machine learning (ML) and deep learning in sectors of science and technology related to data science contribute toward battling COVID-19. The present aim of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to practice warfare against COVID-19 upheaval in various aspects of handling the disease includes utilizing a disease-tracking system, sample collection, and providing required needs to infected persons. This chapter portrays different Internet of Things (IoT), 5G robotics, as well as prompt health-related tracking drones. The drones were helpful in saving several human lives. In addition, we offer a transitory examination of the different AI technology, such as IoT, 5G robots, smartphones, and deep learning, in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and further recommend approaching research directions. Although the ongoing progress globally to combat the COVID-19 pandemic continues, several complementary efforts have been initiated with advanced AI technologies. The modern technology progression is a boon in improving people's lives. Until a permanent cure for such a pandemic disease, AI technology is the apt software to detect an infected persons at a robust rate. Thus, AI at present is the most significant technique in combating/identifying/preventing the disease. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Arun Kumar Rana, Nitin Goyal, Sharad Sharma, Suman Lata Tripathi.
