EBOLA-KILLING ROBOTS ON MARS

ROBOTS WHICH PREVENT EBOLA EXPOSURE

• A germ-killing robot is made up to prevent hospital staff from being infected by any virus.

• The robot works by generating ultraviolet light energy that modifies the DNA structure of viral pathogens, like Ebola. Viruses which cannot

reproduce, therefore, they cannot colonize and harm patients.

• The robot is technically known as TRU-D SmartUVC

HOW DOES IT WORK?• It is a portable UV disinfection device with Sensor, which calculates the time needed to

react, to measure variables such as size, geometry, surface reflectivity and the

amount and location of equipment in the room and effectively delivers a lethal dose of UV-C light during a single cycle from a

single, central location in the room. Could this robot be used in our Martian hospitals

like in the USA?.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klyn3ZXcqhg

XENEX ROBOTXenex robot also avoids

Ebola virus from spreading through human-to-human

transmission

Xenex Robot

• Xenex robot is designed to desinfect hospitals or any room from the virus

spread further • It is a robot that uses xenon UV light to quickly destroy bacteria, viruses, bacterial

spores, and other microbial pathogens.• This prevents any hospital staff from

being infected by Ebola

WHAT IS EBOLA ? • Ebola is a viral hemorrhagic fever and

one of the deadliest diseases known to humanity

HOW IS EBOLA TRANSMITTED?

• Funeral rituals in which relatives and friends touch the body of the dead play an

important role in transmission, as does handling dead or living animals carrying the

virus.• In Africa, particular species of fruit bats are

considered possible natural hosts for Ebola virus. Infected bats are thought to transmit the disease to humans, or indirectly through

other animals which are hunted for their meat.

EBOLA OUTBREAK• It was first discovered in Africa in the 1970s.• The current outbreak in West Africa, with Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone worst hit,

is the largest in history. It has sickened more than 5,300 people and killed more

than 2,600

SYMPTOMS• It flu-like symptoms such as fever, intense weakness,

muscle pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, impaired

kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding.

NO CURE• There is no vaccine or cure available for the

disease. The most serious cases require intensive care and a drip to combat

dehydration.• Doctors manage the symptoms of Ebola

with:• Fluids and electrolytes

• Oxygen• Blood pressure medication

• Blood transfusions• Treatment for other infections
