Akara UV robot
The Akara UV robot uses scientifically proven germ-killing UV-C light to eliminate harmful pathogens on surfaces and in the air. Designed in collaboration with real Environmenatal Services (EVS) teams, it prioritizes usability and fits seamlessly into existing cleaning worlflows. The device is CE-marked and has been tested to the highest standards of safety and disinfection efficacy.
The Akara UV robot boasts three unique capabilities
1 The Only UV Robot Safe for Occupied Clinical Spaces
Akara’s CE-marked UV robot is the only system designed to safely disinfect rooms while staff remain inside. Its patent-protected safety system uses a precision-controlled, rotating UV column that targets surfaces without exposing people. Real-time sensing and behavior-based protocols adapt to human presence, eliminating the need to evacuate rooms. Ideal for ICUs, multi-bed bays, and ORs between cases, it enables hospitals to enhance infection control without adding delays or disrupting workflows.
2. We’ve Created a Novel Solution to the Shadowing Problem
Conventional UV systems often leave surfaces untreated due to shadows caused by equipment, furniture, or room layout. Akara’s UV robot is the first to combine 3D light modeling with spatially accurate maps of real hospital environments to plan and optimize disinfection. This allows the system to simulate how UV light travels through each room and automatically position itself to maximize coverage of high-touch and hard-to-reach surfaces. Unlike traditional static systems, Akara’s approach actively reduces shadowing and highlights any missed areas—such as behind equipment or around obstructions—so they can be flagged for targeted manual cleaning. The result is more complete, efficient, and verifiable disinfection with minimal staff input.
3. We Offer Advanced Assurance With Verified UV Dose Delivery
Most UV disinfection systems estimate the UV-C dose delivered to surfaces using crude assumptions based on time and distance. This approach doesn’t account for shadows, obstructions, or surface variability, leading to inconsistent and often unreliable coverage, especially in complex clinical environments. Akara’s platform takes a fundamentally different approach. It combines real-time dose measurement using wireless UV sensors with a physics-based 3D simulation engine that models how light travels through each room. The robot can then reposition itself, either autonomously or manually, until every target surface receives the required energy dose. After each cycle, a 3D UV dose map is generated, providing clear, auditable evidence that disinfection objectives have been met.
