The Germ-killing Robot

Ever since germs were discovered in the late 1800s, society has been attempting to kill germs to live a healthy lifestyle. Using soap and hot water were steps in the right direction to eliminate bacteria, but those methods are not useful for hotel rooms, electronics, and other things that are unable to get wet. The solution to our problems is the Cleansebot.

The Cleansebot is a small disk like object that uses UV-C light to disinfect objects. The UV-C light, which is able to kill 99.99% of bacteria, germs, dust bites and mold. It can even fight the spread of airborne viruses. With this in mind, the Cleansebot is able to disinfect a wide variety of objects.    

The Cleansebot has a built in artificial intelligence, 18 sensors, 3 different modes. Also, Cleansebot can run and disinfect for 3 hours on a single charge. One of the modes allows the Cleansebot to move around using wheels, kind of like a Roomba but for killing bacteria instead of vacuuming. The main attraction with this mode is to disinfect hotel beds. Using wheel technology, the Cleansebot is able to travel around a mattress easily and will never fall off the bed or get stuck. The Cleansebot is able to disinfect the bed surface in 30 minutes with one cycle and 60 minutes for two. In the hand-held mode, users are able to hold the Cleansebot and disinfect anything that they run the Cleansebot over. Objects can range from TV remotes and light switches to stuffed animals and blankets. Not only does Cleansebot disinfect surfaces but it can also be used as a portable charger.

With the Cleansebot’s light and compact size, this product will be appealing to consumers all over the world. The idea of eliminating almost all bacteria from surfaces will allow the Cleansebot to sell itself.

Alongside sanitizing beds and hotel rooms, the Cleansebot will be able to disinfect some of the grossest objects that everyone uses. For example, our cell phones are compared to being as dirty as a toilet seat, but with the Cleansebot our phones will be able to be as clean as we would hope they would be. This does not only apply to phones, the Cleansebot will disinfect laptops, controllers, wallets and much more.

As a frequent traveler, the Cleansebot will be a great investment for me to make. I know that hotel rooms are known to be unsanitary and dirty, but with the Cleansebot disinfecting the room I will know for a fact that the room is clean. I think that the Cleansebot is a great invention because of its ability to disinfect so many different types of objects and its consistency to kill bacteria. I think as long as the Cleansebot does not release radiation or other harmful byproducts, the Cleansebot will be a great success.
