Fight with Coronavirus with UV Disinfection Robots

• As the fear of COVID-19 is engulfing the world,
  hospitals have become the ground zero for the
  disease. The SARS-COV-2 viruses contaminate the
  surfaces in healthcare facilities. It poses a
  significant threat to patient and staff safety.
• To minimize these risks and encourage clean
  surfaces, healthcare facilities are using
  disinfection UV robots. Today, this piece will
  share some of the UV robots helping fight against
  the deadly virus.
• 6 UV Disinfection Robots That Are Saviours
• Here are the five UV disinfections robots that
  are helping hospitals maximize safety
• TMiRob
• Shanghai, a leading AI company, developed an
  autonomously moving disinfecting robot. The
  robot takes the layout and topography of the
  location to operate. This excellent robot harbors
  three disinfection modes air filtration,
  ultraviolet, and ultra-dry vaporized hydrogen
  peroxide.
• Since the robot combines air filtration, it is
  highly effective in eradicating traces of the
  virus. A combination of these modes can help
  facilities achieve complete disinfection.
• The robot automatically accounts for the fixings
  and space to understand the disinfection time to
  prevent dead spots.
• XDBOT
• Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, has
  introduced a semi-autonomous disinfecting robot.
  This robot can be helpful for the disinfection of
  large surfaces. Users can effortlessly control
  the robot via tablet or laptop.
• XDBOT uses high-definition cameras and LIDAR to
  disinfect the contaminated areas. Unlike the
  traditional pressure spray nozzle, this robot
  uses an electrostatic-charged spray nozzle.

• Smart Guard Pulse Xenon Robot
• Pulse Xenon Robot by Smart Guard is a US based
  firm. This robot produces germicidal and
  antibacterial rays- UV-A, B and C to reach all
  level surfaces and kill 99.9 per cent germs. Its
  height is 5 feet and 7 inches tall.
• Other specifications include the two types of
  light engines- 2 light engine which accounts to
  120 seconds of disinfection time and 4 light
  engine accounts to 90 seconds of disinfection
  time. It lasts up to ten hours, weighs around
  300 pounds and moves at the speed of 3.4 mph.
• Tru-D SmartUVC
• The Tru-D SmartUVC comes from a Memphis-based
  firm. This robot stands to be 5-feet-6- inches
  long.
• Tru-D SmartUVC equips ultraviolet germicidal
  irradiation to disinfect non-porous and porous
  surfaces.
• The robot is a remote-controlled, automated
  disinfection technology that has the capability
  of killing 99.95 per cent germs. The 360Sensor
  in the robot allows it to calculate a suitable
  dose for each room to compensate for its size
  and fixings.
• Siemens / Aucma
• Engineers at AucumaCo.Ltd and Siemens also
  contributed to fighting against the virus with an
  intelligent robot. Their robots operate on a
  lithium battery and can cover a whopping 36,000
  square meters in 60 minutes.
• To allows their robots to travel through
  different surfaces, they use the caterpillar
  chassis. The top-mounted 360-degree cameras
  offer real-time information.
• Akara Robotics Ltd.
• Akara Robotics Ltd is a spinout from Trinity
  College, Dublin. Violet is a UV disinfecting
  robot that uses ultraviolet rays to defeat the
  virus. It is clinically proven that Violet can
  fill harmful germs, bacteria, and viruses.

Final Words With the exceptional UV fighters in
place, hospitals are receiving immense support.
UV robots are a perfect example of how
innovation can be of help in grave situations.
Besides, these high- tech robots kill 99.9 per
cent of the germ on surfaces.
