The Veer Surendra Sai University, Odisha has come up with launching a robot-assisted device which uses a short-wave UV ray for sanitisation. This is a contactless device which can be effective in the war against COVID-19.

The Ultra Violet Robot-Assisted Sanitizer was developed by the Robotics Club of the VSSUT in Burla in Sambalpur district. It can be useful in maintaining hygiene and sterilizing the surfaces using short-wave UV light.

The UVRAS emits UV light to disinfect enclosed areas such as hospital rooms, doctors’ chambers, operation theatres,restaurants and meeting spaces.

This device also has a camera which gives a real-time video of the area where it will be deployed for sanitisation. The tool provides the best solution to our problem.

It targets pathogens and is effective for disinfecting the air. It also prevents certain infections from spreading in the air.

The students under the guidance of VC, Atal Chaudhary have prepared an automatic hand-sanitizer dispenser which is also contactless and a low-cost tool. 

In the near future,there would be mass production of it for supplying to the people and to various organisations as well.
