The article presents the conceptualization, development, and implementation of a sophisticated mobile robotic system with the purpose of providing aid in the medical care of those afflicted with severe cases of COVID‐19. The robotic system will engage in verbal communication with the patient and provide updates regarding the external environment. Additionally, it will facilitate the delivery of food, beverages, and other consumable items to the isolation room. The robot has the capability to navigate to its intended location using two distinct modes: autonomous mode and online control mode. The hardware is constructed within a mobile robot system that is interconnected to the Internet over a 4G mobile network. The system employs a client–server software architecture wherein the transmission of data between the client and the server occurs through various transport protocols. Experimental simulations were conducted in an active treatment room to evaluate the performance of autonomous operating mechanisms, including obstacle avoidance positioning, safe destination navigation, and feedback display for remote robot operation.

“…Germicidal UV disinfection, often at a wavelength close to 254 nm, has been suggested for the disinfection of the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) in a wide range of applications. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, UV disinfection has been suggested for robotic disinfection in hospital rooms, 3 respirator disinfection, 4 airborne infection control in clinical settings, 5 and sanitization of passenger aircraft. 6 There are many applications where UV disinfection can be used to help slow the spread of coronavirus outbreaks.…”

Exploring the Differences in the Response of SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron to Ultraviolet Radiation

et al. 2023

One method that can help slow the spread of coronaviruses is disinfection with UV light. The Delta and Omicron variants of the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) have come to dominate the later stages of the pandemic due to their higher rates of transmission. In this work, it is shown that a 17% higher UV 254 dose is required for the disinfection of Delta and Omicron variants when compared to the ancestral strain of SARS-CoV-2. The UV 254 disinfection rate constants for SARS-CoV-2 and the Delta and Omicron variants were found to be 1.4 ± 0.3, 1.1 ± 0.2, and 1.1 ± 0.2 cm 2 /mJ, respectively. The rate constants of Delta and Omicron were statistically different from the ancestral strain of SARS-CoV-2 at the 95% confidence level based on at least three replicate experiments. It is suggested that the reason for this difference is the absence of repeating uracil (U) bases in the genome of the two variants. The UV 254 sensitivity of repeating pyrimidine bases is well-established. There are 2.6 and 3.7% fewer uracil triplets (UUU) in the Delta and Omicron variants, respectively, when compared to SARS-CoV-2. This difference in UV 254 sensitivity is relevant to a range of UV disinfection applications including upper-room disinfection, air handling equipment, aircraft sanitization, and others.

“…Robots are exclusively classified using application-based categories to match every part of hospital service, covering fault-tolerant control and dependable architectures for safe and reliable operation within healthcare facilities. Srividya et al, [3] discussed about the design and deployment of a completely autonomous UV disinfection robot which disinfects. UV is destructive and dangerous to all living beings, including germs, therefore disinfecting is done along the pre-defined path without human interference.…”
