Abstract
COVID-19 has generated interest in the potential of urban robotics and automation to manage and police physical distancing and quarantine. This commentary examines the intersection between COVID-19 management strategies and the technological affordances of robotics, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) in urban pandemic control. Examples from China illustrate the possibilities for urban robotics and automation in a new era of urban bio-(in)security.
