“…To combat these issues, Chanprakon et al [13] designed a UVC robot that can navigate around a room and thoroughly sterilise the entire operating room with or without human intervention. The robot is equipped with three UVC lamps mounted in a circular pattern 120 • apart, and six ultrasonic sensors (Figure 1).…”

“…To test the effectiveness of the UVC robot, sample plates of Staphylococcus Aureus were exposed to UVC light located 35cm away from the robot and the frequency of different exposure times were used. After the samples were exposed to UVC light, they were then incubated for 24 h at 37 • C. Chanprakon et al [13]) demonstrated that there was a significant reduction in bacteria only after 2 s; a reduction to 7 colonies from the starting 23 colonies. Further UVC exposure time found that by 8 s, all bacteria had been eradicated.…”

“…Lavender, their UVC disinfection robot kills 99.99% of pathogens using a wavelength of UVC at 253.5 nm and can operate 24/7 without supervision without the use of chemicals or manual labour [17]. Similar to the LD-UVC [16] and UV Sterilisation [13] robots, Lavender has UV lamps that are arranged in a circular pattern to deliver light to all areas. This robot has three different functions: standard mode which automatically performs unmanned full-map disinfection, a user-defined mode which carries out disinfection along a user defined pre-set route, and lastly, a static mode whereby the robot reaches a specific spot and completes disinfection [17].…”

Traditionally, advances in robotic technology have been in the manufacturing industry due to the need for collaborative robots. However, this is not the case in the service sectors, especially in the healthcare sector. The lack of emphasis put on the healthcare sector has led to new opportunities in developing service robots that aid patients with illnesses, cognition challenges and disabilities. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has acted as a catalyst for the development of service robots in the healthcare sector in an attempt to overcome the difficulties and hardships caused by this virus. The use of service robots are advantageous as they not only prevent the spread of infection, and reduce human error but they also allow front-line staff to reduce direct contact, focusing their attention on higher priority tasks and creating separation from direct exposure to infection. This paper presents a review of various types of robotic technologies and their uses in the healthcare sector. The reviewed technologies are a collaboration between academia and the healthcare industry, demonstrating the research and testing needed in the creation of service robots before they can be deployed in real-world applications and use cases. We focus on how robots can provide benefits to patients, healthcare workers, customers, and organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we investigate the emerging focal issues of effective cleaning, logistics of patients and supplies, reduction of human errors, and remote monitoring of patients to increase system capacity, efficiency, resource equality in hospitals, and related healthcare environments.

In this research, a sterilization UVC robot will be designed and implemented using wireless communication. The robot can be controlled using a platform that can move the robot and is assisted by a camera to see the condition of the environment. ESP32-CAM. The robot has two UVC lamps installed above to form a 360-degree light coverage area. The camera is at the front and is flanked by two lights to add lighting to get good video results. External antennas are used to increase the wireless communication range. The measurement results vis Wireshark obtained a delay value of 347 ms with a throughput of 358 kb/s. This value is included in the moderate category for data communication classification.
