# Disinfection robots

## Abstract

A UV based surface disinfection system that consists of the UV light source, a robot arm, and an omni directional mobile base. The mobile robot can be programmed autonomously and be able to bring the UV light source to the centimeters away from surfaces to achieve effective and efficient surface disinfection. The mobile robot can navigate autonomously in a complicated environment to perform disinfection operation in a large area.
