The one of coronavirus it is the first global pandemic that we fight alongside precious allies: computers and robots.
While computers (with the plus of AI) are entrusted with the task of finding medical aids suitable for treatment, robots act as our "infantry". In particular they deliver goods or, as in this case, they disinfect hospital rooms with concentrated UV light. To be precise: disinfectant robots.
Developed by UVD Robots, a Danish company, these autonomous robots are used as part of regular cleaning shifts and are extremely useful. Their support in preventing infectious diseases, viral infections, bacteria and other types of harmful organic microorganisms in the environment can be invaluable.
How the UVD "disinfectant" robots work
The robots developed by UVD have eight bulbs that emit UV-C ultraviolet light capable of destroying bacteria, viruses and other harmful microbes.
Once inside a room, the robot will take around 20 minutes to completely disinfect it by damaging the DNA and RNA of microbes and preventing them from multiplying.
Since this type of light is also harmful to humans, people are required to stay outside while the disinfecting robots do their work.
The robot is safe, reliable and eliminates the possibility of human error or distraction. It is easy to use and is designed to be managed by cleaning staff every day through an app. It completes an entire cleaning cycle in less than ten minutes: this is the time it takes, for example, to complete a hospital room with four beds, or a spacious operating room.
From company site I learn that the robots have truly done themselves honor in battle, supporting the staff of as many as 2000 Chinese hospitals. They could also be useful for us to reduce the risk of contagion, especially for our healthcare workers.
