Since the Coronavirus is not showing any signs of stopping any time soon, companies and organizations are relying on robots to maintain the mandatory social distancing and also prevent the disease from spreading. We have seen robots like “Moxi” helping health workers in hospitals and also saw Chennai Police’s “Robot Cop“. Now, an autonomous robot is using UV-C light to disinfect warehouses and keep the workers safe.

 

How Does It Work?

Now, the robot, initially, needs a human remote operator to set the correct path to roam around the warehouse. After subsequent operations, once the robot understands the pathway, it can operate autonomously.
