Recent advancements in autonomous disinfection technologies have introduced a groundbreaking solution for hospital sanitation. Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an "Intelligent Autonomous Wiping and UV-C Disinfection Robot" capable of automating the disinfection process in hospital environments. This innovative robot combines physical wiping with UV-C irradiation to ensure thorough cleaning, even in hard-to-reach areas. The robot's performance has been validated through real-world testing, demonstrating its ability to consistently perform disinfection tasks with precision and efficiency.
