5 Years Later: The Pandemic That Supercharged AI and Robotics
The COVID-19 pandemic sparked a wave of automation that supercharged the development and adoption of technologies across industries.
UVD Robots
UVD Robots, founded in 2016 and based in Odense, Denmark, develops autonomous mobile robots that use ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light to disinfect surfaces and air in hospitals, airports, and public spaces. The robots navigate independently and eliminate harmful microorganisms, reducing infection risks without human exposure. UVD Robots gained global attention during the COVID-19 pandemic for their role in automated sanitation, combining robotics, sensors, and germicidal UV technology to improve hygiene and safety standards.
