Autonomous Mobile Irradiation Robot (AMIR)

该项目将创造一个移动的机器人，它将使用紫外线对放置在它里面的物品进行快速消毒。它将能够自主地在建筑物周围自我导航，并将“随叫随到”，根据需要到达特定位置执行消毒服务。或者，它可以充当送货机器人，在途中进行消毒。它的能力将包括定期和可靠的PPE消毒，如面罩，面罩和护目镜。该机器人将适合部署在医院，使工作人员能够定期消毒他们的PPE，以确保他们的保护性能得到保持，并减少更换的必要性。它也将适用于诸如移动的电话的其他设备的消毒，或者可以被部署用于医疗设备或文件的消毒和递送。

This project will create a mobile robot that will use ultraviolet light for rapid disinfection of items that are placed inside it. It will be able to autonomously self-navigate itself around a building and will be "on call" to arrive at a specific location on demand to perform disinfection services. Alternatively it could act as a delivery robot performing disinfection whilst en route. It capabilities will include regular and reliable disinfection of PPE such as face masks, face shields and goggles. The robot will be suitable for deployment in hospitals to enable staff to regularly disinfect their PPE to make sure their protective performance is maintained and to reduce the extent to which replacements are necessary. It will also be suitable for the disinfection of other equipment such as mobile phones, or could be deployed for the disinfection and delivery of medical equipment or documents.
