The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has provided 10 robots for sterilization inside the Grand Mosque. The Technical and Service Agency, represented by the Environmental Protection and Epidemic Control Department, is enhancing the sterilization system in the Grand Mosque and deploying robots to cover larger areas and ensure thorough sanitation throughout the mosque. The robots operate on a programmed automatic control system based on a pre-existing map and on 6 levels, which improves the safety of the environmental health atmosphere and intelligently analyzes sterilization requirements according to usage scenarios, sterilization paths, and planned durations to achieve complete coverage of the environmental space.
Hassan Al-Suwaihri, Director of Environmental Protection and Epidemic Control at the Grand Mosque, explained that the robots received a SLAM patent with a high-performance decomposition unit featuring an early warning system and timely audio broadcasting. He also revealed that they have battery charging capabilities, allowing each robot to operate for "5-8" hours without human intervention, making them user-friendly. Each device has a capacity of "23.8" liters, consuming two liters per hour to eliminate bacteria in an area of 600 square meters each time, with the size of the dry fog particles used in the sterilization process ranging from 5-15 micrometers.
Additionally, the robots have a front detection angle of up to 192.64 degrees, with an obstacle detection range exceeding 10 meters. They are equipped with a high-quality radar camera for mapping. Notably, the intelligent robot has received international certifications, including the European quality assurance CE mark. The automatic sterilization system is designed to protect pilgrims and worshippers from the coronavirus and eliminate all epidemics.
