Light liberation

Mobility

Accurate, reliable assistance always provides relief. Take these machines, for example.

And what about this Polish startup currently testing solutions for disinfecting hospitals?

Their autonomous robots are equipped with UV-C light and radiation and break down the DNA protein structure of viruses, killing 99.9% of pathogens.

The machines, which also have cameras, move seamlessly through rooms. If a human presence is detected nearby, the light is automatically switched off.

With defined stopping points and targeted doses of UV-C light, the robots are capable of cleaning large, otherwise inaccessible surfaces.

Inside closed rooms, the cleaning process is remote-controlled by smartphone and lasts on average 10 minutes.

The robots can also be used in warehouses, schools, airports or hotels.
