The UVD Robot is safe, user-friendly, reliable and eliminates human error. After the device receives the orders via the application, it automatically explores the areas that need to be disinfected without any human interaction. Thanks to its built-in sensors and cameras, the robot can avoid any obstacles on its way, so it is an efficient and environmentally friendly tool to sterilise the clinic corridors and the radiology department.
