Project Details
Description
The viruses and spores could infect plants of plant factories and wither them.Utilizing the high coverage of ultraviolet (UV) light in greenhouses to disinfectviruses is a possible approach. However, UV light also hurts humans’ skin cellsand retinas. Therefore, UV light can be used via teleoperations. State of the artfor disinfection robots with UV light need to manually assign disinfectionlocations. However, users cannot assign disinfection locations with the maximalcoverage. This project proposes near-optimal coverage algorithms for a robot toautonomously plan disinfection locations. The robot is able to efficiently disinfectthe greenhouse environments and inactive viruses. The goal of this project is todevelop two prototype robots for the greenhouse.
