UVD Robot

(Disinfecting the future)

http://www.techpowerindia.com
UVD Robot was developed in 2016 by
Blue Ocean Robotics with the
objective of global commercializing
robotic based
UVC Disinfection Robot for Hospitals.
The incorporation of the company
followed a Private Public Innovation
project starting in 2014, where Blue
Ocean Robotics and Odense University
Hospital OUH in partnership with
other hospitals in Denmark, developed
the first prototype of the
UV Disinfection Robot, with the
objective of preventing Hospital
Acquired Infections (HAI’s) for the
benefit of patients, hospital staff and
associated healthcare costs.
The UVD Robot is used as part of the regular cleaning cycle,
and aims at preventing and reducing the spread of infectious
diseases, virus, bacteria, and other types of harmful organic
microorganisms in the environment by breaking down their
DNA-structure. The robot is safe, reliable and eliminates
human error. Furthermore, it is user friendly and is designed to
be operated by every-day cleaning staff.
There are mainly three types of UV rays A, B and C. UV-C
which consists of a more energetic and shorter wavelength of
light is particularly effective at destroying genetic material
whether viral particles or in humans. This type of UVC is
filtered out by ozone in the atmosphere long before it reaches
us. On discovering the use of UVC to kill microorganisms
resulted in artificially produced UVC to be used in hospitals as
a form of disinfectant.
The UVD robot uses UVC light of
wavelength 254NM and has 360 degree
coverage with a Wi-Fi based connectivity.
UVC tubes used in the robot are Ozone
free. It has software and sensor based
safety system with an emergency stop
button. It is a fully
Autonomous Disinfection Robot for Hos
pitals
and corporate offices. This technology
coupled with proprietary disinfection
tracking software, makes the UV-D Robot
a supreme disinfection technology for
these applications. The UVD Robot is
capable of destroying bacteria, fungi and
spores with a minimum log 3 reduction
and up to a log 7 reduction (99.9999%)
with as little as 5 minutes exposure time
The UV-D Robot was the proud
recipient of a top international award in
2019, namely the IERA Award. The IERA
Award is one of the world's most
prestigious awards in robotics. It honors
the collaboration between science and
industry in the production of robots
and is awarded by the International
Federation of Robotics, IFR, and the
IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
(IEEE/RAS), which is the world's largest
professional tech organization with
420,000 members in 160 countries.
The UVD Robots can work in both small
and larger rooms within hospitals and
can also deployed in Airports, shopping
Centre’s, places of work and hotels.
