Hills Engineering Co., Ltd., a robot technology company, is busy running through 2021 despite the COVID-19 situation. Following receiving the Innovation Award for the Anti-Virus Universal Disinfection Robot at CES2021, which was held online, it participated in Hannover Messe 2021 and MWC 2021, the world’s largest manufacturing exhibitions, and received favorable responses from many overseas buyers.
Recently, it won the grand prize, Winner Services 2021, at the ‘Red Dot Award 2021’, which is called the Oscar of industrial design. Experts say that Hills Engineering won the main award for its outstanding technology and outstanding design at this award, in which only 8% of a total of 4,110 entries can receive the award, and that it is a rare feat in the robotics industry and has achieved a grand slam in the robotics industry. He said he did and highly appreciated its meaning.
In addition, Hills Engineering, which previously participated in MWC2021, is facing an unprecedented non-face-to-face society due to Covid-19, the current top global issue, with its unique model, ‘Coro-bot’, an artificial intelligence-based autonomous quarantine robot. We also received a request for a special interview from BBC, one of the world’s leading media outlets.
Hills Engineering’s Red Dot Award entry, ‘Coro-bot’, adopts a complex sterilization method that can be used both as a chemical spray method and an ultraviolet sterilization method, allowing users to optimize sterilization according to the environment of the quarantine site. It has the greatest differentiation in that it allows you to choose which method to use.
The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 is shaking the world. Hills Engineering is a company specializing in self-driving logistics robots that operates the ‘AI
This time, the universal quarantine robot ‘CorobotⓇ (Coro-bot)’ was launched, giving a fresh shock to the market. While the quarantine robots that have been released on the market so far mainly use the UVC sterilization method and apply the medicine spraying method as an auxiliary method, the recently released ‘Coro-botⓇ’ focuses on the medicine sterilization method and uses the UVC sterilization method. It is noteworthy that this is a new method that is 180 degrees different from the existing method as it is applied incidentally.
In other words, the space wall sterilization method is adopted and non-harmful medicines such as H2O2 and CL20, which have proven quarantine effects, are sprayed on the walls of hospital rooms, hallways, and logistics centers to kill coronavirus bacteria, and kill coronavirus bacteria on the walls of hospital rooms, hallways, and logistics centers. This method uses UVC rays to sterilize ceilings, etc. using shielded tools. In addition, an AI-based distance center was installed in the middle of the spray nozzle to automatically and comprehensively adjust the appropriate amount of medicine sprayed by each nozzle and the appropriate running speed of the self-driving robot according to various irregular sterilization distances to ensure perfect quarantine activities are scheduled.
In addition, we carried out supplementary final quarantine so that areas missed by herbal quarantine and UVC quarantine can be targeted by a multi-joint robot arm, and 200-degree high-temperature sterilization far-infrared rays are used to enable sterilization and deodorization of floating bacteria floating in the air. The robot was researched and developed to enable perfect sterilization activities suited to the situation by mounting an air circulator on the top of the robot.
The industrial sites where ‘CorobotⓇ’ will be applied are very diverse. It can be applied anywhere where many people gather, such as exhibition halls, hospitals, nursing homes, fulfillment centers, and airports. In particular, ‘Coro-botⓇ’ is an articulated robot, so it is equipped with an H-Arm, a horizontal spray rod that can disinfect aircraft cabins and viewing facilities, and can sterilize a wide range of general hallways and hospital rooms. It is equipped with a V-Arm, a vertical spray rod, and a Multi-Arm that can be used variably.
In addition, it is equipped with an air circulator that can purify polluted air in an enclosed space, so its design and function as an all-weather quarantine robot are excellent, so it was able to receive the internationally prestigious main award at this event, said Park Myeong-gyu, CEO of Hills Engineering. gave his thoughts on receiving the award.
