UV-C Disinfection (UVD) autonomous UV-C disinfection robots that kill 99.99% of pathogens

UVD when you need autonomous robot navigation (hospital with many similar rooms, high-throughput disinfection). R-Zero Arc when you need portability, lower cost, and human-positioned operation.

10-15 minutes per typical hospital patient room. UVD navigates to multiple positions in the room for shadow-free coverage.

No, UV-C is unsafe for direct human exposure. Rooms must be empty during cycles. UVD’s motion sensors auto-stop if a human enters.

Yes. Beam is upper-room only — UV-C is emitted above 7 feet, well above human breathing zone. Designed for continuous operation in occupied schools, restaurants, and waiting rooms.

Minimal damage in normal use. Plastics may yellow over many years of direct UV exposure; furniture and electronics are unaffected by typical cycle exposures.

Complementary, not replacement. Chemical handles surface soil and visible contamination; UV-C handles pathogens, including drug-resistant ones, in shadows where wiping misses.

ROI is in reduced HAI (hospital-acquired infections), which can cost $30K-$50K per incident in extended LOS and remediation. Most hospitals see ROI in under 18 months on UVD.

Yes — R-Zero Arc is widely deployed in schools for between-class or end-of-day disinfection. R-Zero Beam works during occupied class time for continuous air disinfection.

Different tradeoffs. UV-C has no chemical residue and no room down-time waiting for dwell. Fogging is sometimes preferred for porous surfaces; UV-C is preferred for speed and cost-per-cycle.

UVD is registered as a Class II medical device for healthcare environments. R-Zero is classified as a UV-C device under EPA guidance. RobotLAB handles regulatory documentation during deployment.
