Disinfection robot being tested in Montreal

[@thatguy9269]

Another example of cbc's hard hitting investigative reporting. A perfect example of how well they inform Canadian citizens about the important issues.

[@18matts]

Wouldn't it be easier to install uv light in all rooms... Instead of waiting for this show robot?

[@ashleyyang8792]

18matts we don’t have the money to install one in every room

[@johnbarron4843]

18matts dumb idea.

[@loriolson3191]

They are very dangerous and expensive. We only use them in rooms were highly infectious diseases occur. They have been around for quite awhile in other countries.

[@18matts]

@@ashleyyang8792 I'm sure hospitals have more than enough money. They charge us enough.

[@johnwang9914]

Or move a table lamp with a UV bulb to the rooms that needs to be disinfected.

[@Dog4lv2d]

These have been used in our local hospital in the USA for at least two years!

[@skookumtrooper8086]

Vancouver General Hospital tested these machines a few years ago, and I think they still use them.

[@mouzz]

A bunch of lightbulbs on top of 4 wheels. Price : thousands of dollars

[@jiawu440]

not really, your point of view showed a lack of robot products, learn it from booking my channel, I dont deny I want to sell our own brand UV disinfection robot. Thank you!

Does it need a driving or piloting certificate from Transport Canada to operate since autonomous is dangerous for people’s safety.

[@amurika6336]

No it needs doctor degree

[@DinDunyaAkhirat]

Amur Ika a vehicle needs doctor degree?

[@TheMoni7548]

Sent a message to Halifax city and they said they have no clue. And no stance atm welcome to 2015

[@jimmywu7810]

You can install an UV light in each room, it doesn’t cost a lot of money. Doctor, please do some cost analysis!

[@bellalal536]

So put more people in danger by exposing then by radiation.

[@mrspanky369]

I already bought some on Amazon personal ones, why ? because it WORKS!

[@rejm1161]

they use UV light in water treatment centres.

[@jiawu440]

and if you are interested, can talk about our robot model~

[@mohdsahajad4010]

very nice thank you bro

[@jrukawa11]

how about the concentrated bodily fluid drop on the floor? the robot won't wipe it, it just shining lights on them.

[@kpd174]

I swear i saw something like this years ago, why isn't already perfected and used already.

[@loriolson3191]

They are used in the US but only in highly infectious disease areas. They are dangerous and very expensive. I used to clean with one.

[@pascallvsq9]

maybe healtcare is free in canada but this is why we use old tech

[@Ben-lu7ff]

Modern technology gives you the edge

[@MuffHam]

Those robots where tested in ARHCC in Abbotsford BC years ago we had UV cleaning robots. Its nothing new.

[@pascallvsq9]

was about time ....

[@philiplauzon1743]

CHLSD 😂🤣 Sorry was too funny

[@moneek696]

Right

[@johnwang9914]

So why not just put the lights on a trolley and push it into the room if it needs someone to operate it into the room anyways.

[@rondavainey5428]

We need hundreds of thousands of immigrants for "economic" reasons, while jobs are being automated? Does that make sense?

[@Junokaii]

I know. It's ludicrous. If anything immigration should be ZERO for the next couple of years. One for economic reasons and two, for covid reasons.

[@TheSiriusEnigma]

So... it’s an UV lamp on a motorized dolly. It smart because this is class IV laser that doesn’t follow safety regulations IEC 60825-1. I can see that it fails just with this news article. Mandatory safety glasses for UV are orange tinted. Do you see any? You’d think medical personnel would know better.

We offer disinfective robots and chassis. We are looking for local partner. Welcome to join Dowell.
