Blue Ocean Robotics' subsidiary launches third generation autonomous disinfection robot

The new robot is based on massive learning and response from the global market over 5 years, including hospitals and other customer groups with high level experience in infection control. This deep insight and knowhow have been digitalized and put in algorithmic form resulting in a wide range of new features and functionalities now launched with the robot and deployed in an early release at many customer sites around the world.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 11 -- UVD Robots, the world's leading manufacturer of disinfection robots, has unveiled a third generation of its autonomous mobile robot that eliminates viruses and bacteria in the air and on surfaces using UV-C light.

Based on a statement, UVD Robots is a subsidiary of one of the world's leading groups in the development of professional service robots, Blue Ocean Robotics.

The new hyper intelligent robot can show users how well it has disinfected and is so easy to use that anyone can learn within a few minutes.

The robot can also navigate and operate in very small and narrow environments, which opens up new market opportunities such as the autonomous disinfection of small hotel rooms.

It has a significantly smaller footprint than its predecessor, yet boasts exactly the same disinfection strength.

UVD Robots board chairman, Claus Risager said: “The robot has an unrivalled safety system that uses four layers of safety, enabling the robot to move around in all kinds of environment - even in highly-trafficked areas - as it shuts down if people get too close.”

“It has a unique capability to sense, document and show users how well disinfected an area is, enabling users to easily and quickly adjust the process and optimise the quality if needed,” said Risager, adding that all those features were patented.

In over 60 countries, UVD Robots’ distributors are experiencing high demand, including from hospitals, airports, hotels, shopping malls, food companies, cleaning industries and cruise ships, seeking to procure solutions to ensure infection-free environments.
