Safe-flying vision: Virus-killing robots, fever checks by camera


Passengers queueing according to social distancing measures for check-in counters in the departures terminal at Madrid Barajas airport, in Madrid, Spain. Coaxing people back onto airplanes may involve temperature-taking cameras that can also flag airport officials when people aren’t wearing a face mask properly, a system that spots overcrowded areas, and air-quality sensors that constantly monitor for pathogens. — Bloomberg
