- clinics, buildings and means of transport
Description:
DeKonBot 2 is the second prototype of a cleaning and disinfection robot for potentially contaminated surfaces in buildings such as door handles, light switches or elevator buttons. Further developments compared to the previous model relate to the robot hardware used. DeKonBot 2 uses the cost-effective, differentially driven X3 platform from Metralabs and a UR5e manipulator, which offers the necessary flexibility for the cleaning movements to be performed. Another new feature is the brush-based cleaning tool, which is used to remove any soiling and kill any germs present.
Before the robot is used for the first time, the operating personnel only need to teach the positions of the objects to be cleaned once, after which the cleaning robot acts autonomously. DeKonBot 2 can be used safely by humans.
The modular hardware and software structure allows the robot's features to be easily expanded or adapted to individual requirements. Thanks to its modularity, the technologies developed can also be transferred to other robots.

Project MobDi:
DeKonBot 2 was developed as part of the MobDi project, which is funded by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft's internal "Anti-Corona" program.
The aim of the MobDi project is to develop new technical solutions for the efficient yet gentle mobile disinfection of surfaces and for the automated and hygienic transport of goods in buildings and for public transport. On the one hand, the project is concerned with the development of modular cleaning and transport robots that can be used flexibly for this purpose. On the other hand, key technologies in the field of robot perception are being developed and new methods for the analysis and - based on this - the targeted cleaning and disinfection of surfaces are being investigated. The benefits of the newly developed technologies will be validated with the help of extensive practical evaluations.
In addition to the disinfection robots, a new transport robot for use in clinics and care facilities will also be developed, which is characterized by a particularly small footprint and a very maneuverable chassis. The hardware and software components developed in the project are designed to be modular so that they can also be transferred to other robots or used as stand-alone solutions.
