Abstract

Disclosed is a decontamination robot. The robot includes a decontamination box including at least two arrays of ultraviolet LEDs, the two arrays arranged to irradiate an object placed inside the decontamination box from at least two independent directions, the decontamination box further including an interior surface with at least 90% reflectivity of ultraviolet light. The robot also includes a drivetrain including four swerve-drive units, each swerve-drive unit capable of rotating a wheel on an axis of the wheel and capable of orienting the wheel in a plane defined by the axes of the four wheels of the four swerve-drive units, whereby the four swerve-drive units coordinate to generate translational motion of the decontamination robot on a working surface. The robot also includes a scissor lift capable of raising the decontamination box from a first position to a second position, wherein the scissor lift comprises a plurality of bars connected by a plurality of joints such that the plurality of bars form a series of crosses, and a top plate attached to a top of the decontamination box.
