Self -propelled Robo that sterilizes every corner, reducing the risk and burden of smartlobotics development of venture
While running autonomously, a robot that inactivated the new Coronavirus appeared.Smartrobotics (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), a robot development venture, has developed and launched an autonomous driving robot "SR-UVC Model C" equipped with a bactericidal light that irradiates ultraviolet rays.Newly infected with Omicron stocks is still high, but it can reduce the risk and psychological anxiety of medical workers and in -hospital cleaning staff due to autonomous driving.
When a dedicated tablet is one click, the robot starts, the sensor of the robot itself detects the position, and the map is automatically created while moving inside the room.After calculating the ultraviolet irradiation route, the ultraviolet light is irradiated while moving through the room.The irradiation is a 254 nanometer wavelength ultraviolet light, which is inactivated by viruses and bacteria.
Irradiated not only on medical equipment installed indoors, but also on outstanding ceilings, walls, floors, curtains, etc.The safety is also considered, such as installing an "artificial intellectual shadow detection function" that stops ultraviolet irradiation when a person is detected.The price is about 13 million yen.It is expected to sell 50 units in the first year.
The company released a remote control type model using a dedicated controller in May 2020, and has delivered about 50 units, mainly 150 to 1200 bed -scale medical institutions.There was a request from these medical institutions to "consider the introduction of autonomous driving," and we were developing development.
According to an interview with remote -operated medical institutions, the time of the hospital staff for eradication was reduced by about 70 %.When converted to labor costs, the simulation result was that 500 beds could be reduced by about 5 million yen per year and about 10 million yen for 1000 beds.(Shunichi Takahashi)
