To meet the demand for the fast and reliable sanitization of public spaces like airports, hospitals and long-term care homes, Ontario Tech University is helping to perfect intelligent machines that can work efficiently and autonomously.
The university’s engineers are partnering with Cyberworks Robotics, based in Markham, Ontario. The company makes autonomous self-driving technology for industry-grade ultraviolet disinfection systems. It also makes floor cleaners for airports, hospitals and the entertainment industry.
Together, Cyberworks and Ontario Tech are developing intelligent robots with improved navigation abilities in order to reduce possibilities for COVID-19 infection by enhancing the performance of robotic cleaners used in public spaces.
