ABSTRACT— In the context of global health and sanitation, the use of robotics and automation in healthcare environments has gained significant attention. This project proposes an Autonomous UV Sanitization Robot designed to effectively eliminate harmful germs and bacteria in hospitals and similar settings using UV-C light. The robot employs advanced technologies such as LiDAR-based navigation, autonomous path planning, and environmental monitoring. Enhanced safety measures ensure that the UV-C light automatically shuts off in the presence of humans, reducing risks. Preliminary results show the robot’s ability to efficiently sanitize surfaces while optimizing resource use.
