5. Robotic Disinfection Systems
Robotic disinfection systems are used in hospitals to reduce the spread of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). These robots use technologies like ultraviolet (UV) light and hydrogen peroxide vapor to disinfect surfaces effectively.
- UV Disinfection Robots: Emit high-intensity UV-C light to destroy pathogens on surfaces and in the air.
- Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Robots: Disperse vaporized hydrogen peroxide to disinfect rooms thoroughly.
These systems are particularly useful in high-risk areas such as operating rooms, intensive care units, and emergency departments, enhancing infection control protocols.
