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.
