Systems and methods for disinfection and sanitation of environments by robotic devices

This invention describes a robot designed to clean and disinfect areas using ultraviolet light. The robot features an attachable UV light module that kills germs, viruses, and bacteria, and uses a computer to control its movement and aim the lights at nearby surfaces. The claims specifically describe this module as having cylindrical UV lights that emit light in multiple directions.

Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in autonomous navigation and real-time environmental mapping have made precise robotic control more robust. This could simplify the complex software needed for the robot to accurately orient its UV lights.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAutonomous navigation, mapping, precise UV aiming software
