UVC Robot

During the summer of 2020, we worked on a UVC-equipped robot to aid in disinfection and mitigate the risk of spreading Covid-19. This project is in collaboration with MIT CSAIL, Ava Robotics and The Greater Boston Food Bank. Please watch the video for a quick overview, or visit MIT News for the full press release. The paper summarizing our research will be presented at the IROS 2021 conference.
