UVD Robots for the Education Sector

UVD Robot for education - disinfecting a classroom to protect students

NOW RETURNING BACK TO COLLEGES, SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES, STUDENTS AND STAFF ARE FACING A RAPID RISE IN RATES OF INFECTION FOR COVID-19. UVD ROBOTS CAN HELP GET THE EDUCATION SECTOR GET BACK TO WORK.

With thousands of students and staff meeting, living together and teaching in colleges, the ability for social distancing becomes extremely difficult and shared stairways, bathrooms, kitchens and living areas have become critical touch points containing the virus. 

Within the first couple of weeks of returning to university in September 2020, a total of 50 universities have had Covid-19 outbreaks. Students are confined to their flats, unable to leave, with some isolating completely alone in their rooms. A key issue expressed by students is that many of them, although not testing positive, are sharing key areas with those who have tested positive and feel it is only a matter of time before they too get the virus. 

Many students are unhappy with the limited face-to-face learning and socialising that is a consequence of universities and colleges being unable to ensure the safety of lecture halls, classrooms, labs and seminar rooms. Instead the blended learning experience has left students alone and isolated as learning continues to become increasingly virtual.

UVD Robots from NESA Robotics – a key way of ensuring that students and staff are kept healthy

A key way of ensuring that students and staff are kept healthy and happy is to target key and critical touch points that are shared by dozens within flats, communal areas, canteens and lecture theatres across each campus. 

Designed to kill hospital acquired infections and superbugs, the UVD Covid-19 killing robot can quickly and easily disinfect all surfaces within a room in around 10 minutes, leaving it free for use immediately. The UVD Robot uses UVC light to kill 99.9999% of harmful bacteria, viruses and microorganisms and can perform 18,0000 square feet of disinfecting in 2.5 hours, tackling large lecture theatres and communal spaces with ease. 

Paired with an easy to use tablet that can map out all desired disinfection routes, the robot can be controlled by staff at universities and colleges, who after performing a regular cleaning routine can leave the robot to disinfect a room and leave it safe for immediate use. 

The UVD Robot from NESA Robotics has great practical applications in large lecture halls, seminar rooms, communal areas and student accommodation particularly toilets, kitchens and living areas, and can help control the further spread of the virus between students and staff.
