The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the need for a more effective and efficient disinfection approach to combat infectious diseases. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a proven mean for disinfection and sterilization and has…

Ultraviolet (UV) germicidal radiation is an established non-contact method for surface disinfection in medical environments. Traditional approaches require substantial human intervention to define disinfection areas, complicating…

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected public health, healthcare systems, and daily life, especially amid resource shortages and limited workers. This crisis has underscored the urgent need for automation in hospital environments,…

In a pandemic contact between humans needs to be avoided wherever possible. Robots can take over an increasing number of tasks to protect people from being exposed to others. One such task is the disinfection of environments in which…

UV radiation has been used as a disinfection strategy to deactivate a wide range of pathogens, but existing irradiation strategies do not ensure sufficient exposure of all environmental surfaces and/or require long disinfection times. We…

Periodic disinfection of workspaces can reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission. In many buildings periodic disinfection is performed manually; this has several disadvantages: it is expensive, limited in the number of times it can be done over a…

The paper focuses on the development of the autonomous robot UltraBot to reduce COVID-19 transmission and other harmful bacteria and viruses. The motivation behind the research is to develop such a robot that is capable of performing…

The paper focuses on the development of an autonomous disinfection robot UltraBot to reduce COVID-19 transmission along with other harmful bacteria and viruses. The motivation behind the research is to develop such a robot that is capable…

Autonomous systems have played an important role in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Notably, there have been multiple attempts to leverage Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to disinfect surfaces. Although recent research suggests that…

Regular irradiation of indoor environments with ultraviolet C (UVC) light has become a regular task for many indoor settings as a result of COVID-19, but current robotic systems attempting to automate it suffer from high costs and…

UVC radiation has been recently used to disinfect hospital, daycare and public places. It can be used to reduce bacteria by deactivating their DNA. Our work is to examine the effectiveness of UVC radiation (254 nm) in inactivating the…

Significant research has shown that UV-C exposure is an effective disinfectant for a range of bacteria and viruses, including coronaviruses. As such, a UV-C treatment in combination with a chemical wipe, such as EPA hydrogen peroxide, is a…

Numerous mobile robots with mounted Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) lamps were developed recently, yet they cannot work in the same space as humans without irradiating them by UV-C. This paper proposes a novel modular and scalable Human-Aware…

The current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for cheap reusable personal protective equipment. The disinfection properties of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the 200-300 nm have been long known and documented. Many solutions using…

A plethora of studies ranging from precision physics to quantum information employ ions, highly excited neutral atoms or polar molecules as tools. Motivated by the need for miniaturization, scalability and controllability, the particles are…

The physical basis and algorithm of the ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) scientific calculator are presented herein. The algorithm was implemented in the web application UVGI Scientific Calculator (found at…

A robotic solution for the unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to execute the highly complex task of object manipulation in an autonomous mode is presented. This paper primarily focuses on developing an autonomous robotic system capable of…

The developing field of enhanced diagnostic techniques in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, constitutes a crucial domain in modern healthcare. By utilizing Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry (GC-IMS) data and incorporating…

Medical robots can play an important role in mitigating the spread of infectious diseases and delivering quality care to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods and procedures involving medical robots in the continuum of care,…

While metasurface based intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) are an important emerging technology for future generations of wireless connectivity in its own right, the plans for the mass deployment of these surfaces motivate the question…
