Disinfecting Guide Robots

The CLEANSE Robot Guides Passengers on Public Transport Systems

— August 31, 2021 — Tech
The CLEANSE robot was designed by Yifeeling Design. Its purpose is to sanitize public places like malls and public transport systems—the autonomous machine results from the ongoing pandemic radically shifted our cleanliness and personal hygiene perspectives.

Using AI, the fleet of CLEANSE robots target air-born diseases by cleaning public areas. As the trains stop, the robots disinfect each coach, ensuring the area is sanitized before the next riders embark. It also guides passengers to exit through the station safely by analyzing the least crowded locations. It then creates a path for people to follow as they exit public transport and other spaces. The smart robot is loaded with cameras and sensors to navigate its course effectively.
