Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), in collaboration with Ava Robotics and the Greater Boston Food Bank, designed a new robotic system that disinfects surfaces and neutralizes aerosol forms of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
The complete unit combines a custom UV-C emitter designed at CSAIL mounted onto Ava Robotics’ mobile base. According to MIT, “The results [at Greater Boston Food Bank] were encouraging enough that researchers say that the approach could be useful for autonomous UV disinfection in other environments, such as factories, restaurants, and supermarkets.”
