Service robots are Present in all medical fields. The aim of the present work is to contribute to the fight against the spread of COVID-19, a novel human coronavirus in hospitals, public transport, airlines, and any enclosed areas. In this study, we have adopted the physical disinfection method by using UV. The use of these service robots reduces the risk of infection, the cost of traditional cleaning and disinfection, and most importantly acquires confidence and security in medical facilities. For the purpose of disinfection without human interference, a UV-ROBOT has been designed and implemented that follows a predefined path. It was equipped with 20watt UV lamps which radiated light in all directions. Given that UV light can be dangerous to human life, an embedded system based on Arduino along with PIR sensors is employed on top and bottom of the robot that detects human or any object's motion and presence. So one effective way to avoid getting infected with coronavirus is by sterilizing rooms using a UV robot.
