Abstract

Ultra violet (UV) light is used for the purpose of disinfection or sterilization of rooms and surfaces. UV-C is employed as it has germicidal properties, in particular - bacteria and viruses, but it is detrimental to human-beings as well. So, for the purpose of disinfection without human interference, a UV Robot has been designed and implemented that follows a pre-defined path. It was equipped with three 20W UV lamps which radiates light in all directions. Given that UV light can be dangerous to humans, an embedded system based on Arduino along with PIR sensors are employed on top of the robot that detects human or animal’s motion and presence. So, one of the effective ways to avoid getting infected with SARS-COV-2 (Corona virus) is by sterilizing rooms using UV robot.
