Automated Ultraviolet C Light Mobile Robot for Room Sterilization and Disinfection

The number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia has increased significantly of late. Therefore, isolation rooms are needed in hospitals for patient treatment. Room sterilization and disinfection are strictly required as it is mandatory to protect the medical personnel. Chemical and physical methods ca...
