"UVRova is the world's first robot that executes an automatic disinfection cycle in a hospital ICU bed, without consumables, fumes, vapours, sound, corrosion or residues. UVRova robots can kill 11 types of viruses including Polio Virus, Adeno Virus, Noro Virus, Corona Virus, Syncytial Virus, Rhino Virus Rota Virus, Herpes Virus, H1N1, Hepatitis A and Hepatitis C within a span of 5 to 6 minutes with a kill rate exceeding 99.99 per cent," Yedida claimed.
