Med Robots provides UltraBot, an autonomous UV‑C disinfection robot for hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The robot navigates complex environments, targets high‑touch surfaces with germicidal UV‑C light, and automatically stops emission when a person approaches, while handling its own charging for continuous, set‑and‑forget operation.

Problem
Hospital environments require frequent disinfection of high‑touch surfaces to prevent healthcare‑associated infections, but manual cleaning is labor‑intensive, inconsistent, and cannot operate continuously in 24/7 facilities.
Solution
Med Robots offers UltraBot, an autonomous UV‑C disinfection robot designed specifically for healthcare settings. The robot navigates corridors and rooms using high‑precision positioning and memory‑based mapping, delivering targeted UV‑C light to surfaces while avoiding shadowed areas. Integrated safety sensors halt UV‑C emission when a person approaches within three meters, ensuring safe operation around staff and patients. UltraBot autonomously returns to its charging dock when battery levels are low and resumes work after recharging, providing continuous, set‑and‑forget disinfection without human intervention. The system leverages advanced AI‑driven navigation, obstacle avoidance, and multi‑machine scheduling to maintain reliable performance in complex hospital layouts.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities seeking automated, continuous surface disinfection to enhance infection control and reduce labor costs.
