The Development and Validation of an Autonomous UVC (Ultraviolet - C) Disinfection Robot System

In this research, we developed an Autonomous UVC robot disinfection system suitable for a healthcare setting. The effectiveness of cleaning with UVC light inspired the design of the robot. The experiment was designed to determine how long, how far, and how much energy would be required to prevent the germs from replicating and kill them as rapidly as possible. The UVC robot is lightweight and simple to move about. The ultraviolet-candelabra (UVC) lamp was used in its construction. UVC light kills bacteria and viruses by interfering with the way their DNA bases couple together. Our experiment involved shutting the UVC robot in a room and observing its behavior. The UVC robot is equipped with four 30W lights that can illuminate an entire room. Within 30 seconds after commencement, samples were placed 60 centimeters from the lights and left there for a time from 0 to 6 minutes. Killing 92% of the germs in 6 minutes is a strong indicator that the suggested approach works effectively. The low initial cost and relatively straightforward nature of the design suggest that it might eventually achieve its full potential.
