Maximum Speed Analysis of Mobile Robot for SARS-CoV-2 Disinfection Using UVC Lights

Abstract

Covid-19 is a disease caused by a new type of coronavirus, namely SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2). Covid-19 attacks humans in the respiratory system ranging from mild flu-like symptoms, to lung infections such as Covid-19 pneumonia spreads very quickly, namely through droplets, aerosols, etc. which are not visible to the naked eye. With these conditions, so an innovation is needed to prevent and overcome it with UVD robots. UVD Robot (Ultraviolet Disinfection Robot) is a robot that can disinfect viruses in a room with UVC light. UVD Robot Robot can be controlled automatically or manually so that it can be controlled from several meters. UVC (Ultraviolet C) light with a wavelength of 254 nm has the ability to prevent viral replication at the appropriate dose, distance, and time. The way UVC light works is to damage the structure of the DNA and RNA viruses so that they cannot replicate themselves. This research is based on the speed and trajectory of the UVD robot in order to obtain an effective configuration without reducing the ability of the UVD robot.
