Survey on Surface Disinfection Robot Using UV Light and Liquid Sanitizer

Abstract

An Ultraviolet (UV) based sterilization technique acts as a useful aid in pruning the growth of microorganisms that usually persists on the surfaces after the usual procedure of cleaning and sanitizing. A UV robot is being developed for sterilization and sanitization in the operating rooms of hospitals. Surface decontamination is a crucial procedure to prevent the spread of infections in hospitals. The usual procedures of manual cleaning and disinfection are inadequate to eliminate pathogens from the infected and contaminated surfaces. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation deploying autonomous disinfection control system is being developed to complement the conventional decontamination procedures with a significant reduction of time and concurrent reduction of workload. The UV Robot lowers the transmission of hazardous virus as it can cleanse the areas that are out of human reach. In the view of technology, the development of robots is a part of preventive strategy to overcome the challenges faced by hospitals in a pandemic like situations. It also helps us to increase the effectiveness in battling the pandemic. This robot is also power efficient as it can function for a longer period of time than a human. It can also reduce human interference, also decreasing the risk of contamination of virus.
