A new robot developed by MIT in the US is being used to kill coronavirus in a 4,000-square-foot warehouse using ultraviolet light (UV) light. At this speed, the UV light neutralises at least 90 per cent of microorganisms on the various types of surfaces at the facility. The US military is set to use 'corona-killing robots' equip with ultraviolet light (UV) to disinfect enclosed spaces. China-based Keenon Robotics Company is also offering a $40,000 (£32,650) hospital robot that uses a combination of UV light and liquid disinfectant spray to kill the virus. Handheld UV light devices that can kill Covid-19 may soon be as commonplace as mobile phones, researchers at Penn State University in the US claim.
