The Government ITI, Brhamapur has created another milestone in bringing innovations to contain Covid-19 pandemic.
The ITI has designed an UVC Robo Warrior machine. Principal Dr Rajat Kumar Panigrahy said the newly-developed machine provides UVC light that disinfects the surfaces of public transport system and the isolation rooms occupied by Covid-19 infected or suspected patients. The apparatus moves to the point of disinfection surfaces for direct exposure of UVC light. UVC light emits UV Ray with a wave length of 254 millimetre, which is most easily absorbed by proteins and nucleic acid of bacteria and virus can denature and disassociate proteins from thymine dimmers in nucleic acid and destroy the nucleic acid and destroy the DNA, RNA, structure of various bacteria, he said.
Dr Panigrahy further said the sensor fitted on the body of the Robot prevents any collision of Robot with the wall or any object coming on its track by stopping the movement. This Robot is made out of plywood portable and run with chargeable battery. The cost of robot is around 7, 500.
