Covid-19 pandemic makes people do various innovations. Competing in the LAI2-Covid 19 event, the Kuybot Team consisting of three students from the Department of Systems and Industrial Engineering, the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and the Department of Physics Engineering won the first place in creating the Robot Innovation Application. The name of the robot given is Hosiro-Usiro. Oktaviansyah Purwo Bramastyo as the team leader said that his team  wanted to contribute to helping medical staff through their robot creation.

Hosiro, which stands for Hospital Robot System, is a robot system that is devoted to handling Covid-19 in the hospital. Hosiro has a service function in terms of delivery of food and medicine, checking the physical condition of the patient in the form of body temperature and heart rate, and can be used by patients as a medium of interaction. Meanwhile, Usiro which stands for Universal System Robot is a robot that has a service function for independent quarantine patients. The function of Usiro's services can be in the form of interactions with others, buying or taking food from online taxi-bike, and matters relating to interaction. Usiro is also equipped with a treadmill as a robot for road control. Through robot control using this treadmill, patients who do isolation can socialize virtually. So, the effect can reduce the patient's stress when he or she is quarantined independently.

Hosiro and Usiro robots have advantages over other robots, which have two functions or 2 in 1. In addition to serving patients, the Hosiro-Usiro robot can also sterilize themselves and have an automatic door-opening system. In terms of design, this robot has a large storage box to deliver food, medicine, and clothes. It can also be used for communication between medical personnel-patients, measuring patient temperature, detecting blood pressure and heart rate of patients, as well as being a means of recreational media for patients.
