In order to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the Stuttgart research institute has quickly developed a prototype of a mobile cleaning and disinfection robot. It travels independently to potentially contaminated objects such as door handles, disinfects them thoroughly and is both resource-saving and time-efficient.
The new prototype of the mobile disinfection robot "DeKonBot" is an automation solution that independently cleans and disinfects potentially contaminated areas such as door handles, light switches or elevator buttons. Continuous use of the robot, even at night, means that cleaning can be carried out more frequently than in manual mode.
It cleans relevant surfaces in a targeted manner and does not spray the agents to be used over a large area in the room like various other robots. This not only saves disinfectant and time because the area to be cleaned is limited to the essentials, but also prevents hazards such as slipping on damp surfaces or inhaling potentially harmful agents.
