Kolhapur professor, team designs ‘sanitiser robot’ equipped with UV rays
The robot uses sensors and artificial intelligence to detect human activity. Also, the team has used anti-collagen sensors to prevent the robot from suffering any damage if it meets obstacles while moving around in an area.
The robot weighs 20 kg. A PROFESSOR and his team from Kolhapur’s Shivaji University have designed a sanitiser robot that can emit ultraviolet rays to immediately sanitise areas around it, when it detects human movement.
