Singapore Mall is launching a new Sunburst UV Bot robot to help fight the coronavirus.

The robot does not use chemicals for disinfection, the destruction of the virus occurs by ultraviolet light. It is more environmentally friendly, safer, and also allows you to disinfect surfaces that are difficult to treat with chemicals, say the developers.

The radiation is harmful to human eyes and skin, so the robot can use sensors to recognize people nearby and turn off automatically. For work, you must first program the route, after that the robot will work and charge autonomously.

The price of the robot is $ 49,500. The developers lease it for 2121 dollars a month. Some robots will also be transferred to hospitals and isolation centers.
