Intelligent Epidemic Prevention Robot

MouShi Tech’s Intelligent Epidemic Prevention Robot is an autonomous mobile platform combining disinfection spraying, infrared body temperature monitoring, and mask detection capabilities. Developed in February 2020 during the COVID-19 outbreak, this system was deployed at Beijing’s Haidian Hospital isolation ward, demonstrating the potential for robotics to reduce healthcare worker exposure in contaminated environments.

Product Overview

The robot emerged from MouShi Tech’s industrial inspection platform, repurposed with sanitization and health screening modules for pandemic response. Unlike traditional cleaning equipment requiring human operation, this system performs autonomous navigation using SLAM technology, enabling 360-degree disinfection coverage without manual intervention.

The platform addresses a critical need during infectious disease outbreaks: maintaining environmental hygiene in high-risk areas while minimizing staff contact. At Haidian Hospital, the robot reportedly reduced workload associated with disinfection tasks by approximately 80%, allowing medical personnel to focus on patient care.

Key Features

MouShi Tech’s Intelligent Epidemic Prevention Robot is an autonomous disinfection platform combining SLAM navigation, 360° spray coverage, infrared thermometry, and mask detection—first deployed at Beijing Haidian Hospital in February 2020.

• Autonomous Navigation: SLAM-based positioning enables operation without external infrastructure modifications
• 360° Disinfection Coverage: Calculated spray patterns based on room dimensions ensure complete surface treatment
• Infrared Temperature Monitoring: Non-contact body temperature screening for personnel entering controlled areas
• Mask Detection: Computer vision algorithms identify individuals not wearing proper protective equipment
• Remote Monitoring Platform: Real-time data transmission to central command for monitoring and alerts
• Obstacle Avoidance: Multi-sensor fusion for safe operation in dynamic hospital environments

Technical Specifications

MouShi Tech’s epidemic prevention robot uses laser-vision SLAM navigation with 2 cm obstacle avoidance, infrared temperature detection, and 4G/5G wireless control in autonomous or remote modes.

Clinical Applications

The robot targets environmental sanitization rather than direct patient care. Primary deployment scenarios include:

• Hospital Isolation Wards: Continuous disinfection of patient areas
• Quarantine Facilities: Monitoring compliance with health protocols
• Transportation Hubs: Airports, train stations, and bus terminals
• Public Buildings: Schools, government offices, commercial venues
• Healthcare Waiting Areas: Temperature screening and mask enforcement

The system operates autonomously during scheduled patrol routes or can be manually directed to specific areas requiring immediate attention.

Deployment History

MouShi Tech donated initial units to frontline medical facilities in Beijing during the early 2020 outbreak. Haidian Hospital’s infectious disease ward served as the first clinical deployment site, with installation completed within days of the company’s emergency development effort.

The robot’s performance in reducing staff exposure while maintaining sanitization standards generated interest from additional healthcare facilities and public venues seeking automated epidemic control solutions.

Regulatory Status

The Intelligent Epidemic Prevention Robot operates as environmental equipment rather than a regulated medical device. Its functions—disinfection, temperature screening, and compliance monitoring—fall outside NMPA medical device classification, as the robot does not directly participate in diagnosis or treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this robot approved for medical use?

The robot is not classified as a medical device under NMPA regulations. It functions as environmental sanitization equipment deployed in healthcare settings, similar to industrial cleaning machinery. Temperature screening provides preliminary data only and does not constitute medical diagnosis.

How does the robot compare to manual disinfection?

According to MouShi Tech, the automated system reduces labor requirements by approximately 80% compared to manual disinfection procedures. Autonomous operation also minimizes staff exposure to potentially contaminated environments.

Can the robot operate in any hospital area?

The system is designed for corridor and room sanitization in general hospital environments. Deployment in sterile surgical suites or areas with sensitive medical equipment requires evaluation of compatibility with existing protocols.
