Development of a Mobile Disinfectant Robot with UV Lamps for the Prevention of Covid-19

摘要

Viral diseases like Covid-19 are infectious and attack human respiratory system. During this time, places such as the hospital, supermarket and stations where crowds gather are at high risk of contamination. People in the vicinity of these areas can spread the virus not only through physical contact but also by touching articles or objects which are prone to contamination. This is why a device that can clean those infected areas without spreading it to others is much needed. To help mitigate this infectious disease the project was created to build a disinfectant robot that can be used remotely without heavy maintenance and has only one major installation cost and no continuous costs. That is the reason behind selecting the method of UV lamps to help sanitize public areas that can be extended to any type of public space at low cost and to decontaminate the area without the use of sprayers or reagents. All of these virus cleansers come in the form of aerosolized sprays or solutions but cannot be used everywhere particularly to clean garment factories or industrial surfaces. So, the UV lamps were finally selected that will be installed on a movable base automatically.
