The 'mUVe' UV-C Surface Disinfection Robot is an advanced technology solution developed by Energy Focus as a way for businesses and healthcare facilities alike to keep areas free from harmful pathogens without the need for labor-intensive cleaning.
The robot works by being positioned into a space and will go to work at a rate of 18-inches per second to quickly sweep through an area as it bathes exposed surfaces in UV-C light. This will work to eradicate pathogens that could be lurking on the surface to allow for daily cleaning without the need for any chemicals.
The 'mUVe' UV-C Surface Disinfection Robot can cover up to 10,000 square feet of space per hour and is intended to operate autonomously when there are no humans in the area.
