Scientists in Bahrain, on the western coast of the Arab Gulf, have devised a smart robot that can kill the Coronavirus. The robot can also kill other microorganisms inside public places and closed offices.
It may offer a revolutionary solution to combat the deadly virus and other pathogens in the world.
The smart robot launches ultraviolet radiation which penetrates the outer membrane of the deadly virus and other members of the corona family.
The robot emits short length waves of ultraviolet radiation, which are able to kill the virus by disrupting DNA, in what is known as ultraviolet radiation shed toward germs.
The team of scientists released a video clip showed a robot model that speaks 12 languages and can measure temperature degrees in the human body.
It responds to voice commands and use facial recognition technology.
The robot was designed by a team of scientists and engineers working for Fab Lab Bahrain, in cooperation with the Ministry of Youth and the country's Sports Innovation Center.
The video shows how the robot works between offices in a commercial facility while detonating doses that kill the virus with Ultra Violate radiation.
The scientists reveal that the robot can kill within half an hour 90% of bacteria and viruses by destroying their membranes, which leads to the fragmentation of DNA.
Professor at Eastern England University Dr. Paul Hunter, said that ultraviolet radiation has been successfully fighting viruses for a long time. This principle is widely used in the process of water sterilization.
The robot is currently being tested at the production facilities it will be produce from later after completing tests. The robot has produced two experimental samples, working in Bahrain hospitals.
This comes after the Bahraini government deployed two robots to hospital isolation wards to help medical staff deal with the ongoing global health crisis.
