Unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) will disinfect Abu Dhabi airport premises beginning this month.
The CodiBot, designed by Marakeb Technologies, will be piloted from May throughout the Abu Dhabi International Airport - staff areas, cargo facilities, cabin sterilisation etc. The robots will help eliminate the risk of human exposure and self-contamination during sterilisation of aircraft.
It will also ensure operators' safety through remote control capability, using real-time video and high-speed 4G data connection.
"We can reassure passengers and our frontline staff that we are taking all precautionary measures to ensure their safety. We have a clear responsibility to ensure our spaces remain clear of any virus threat. By deploying artificial intelligence, we add another layer of protection and build on our comprehensive response to the Covid-19 outbreak," said Shareef Hashim Al Hashmi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Airports.
The UGVs will be operated in conjunction with the extensive range of preventative measures implemented at the Abu Dhabi International Airport in response to Covid-19. Measures include thermal screening, nasal swabbing, and polymerase chain reaction testing, in line with the recommendations by the Ministry of Health and Prevention (Mohap).
Three central functions of Codibot
>Targeting of virus strains on surfaces with controlled bursts of germicidal UV rays
>Screening of individual through thermal infrared monitoring
>Disinfection of areas using liquid cleaning agents
