Busy spaces change constantly. The ADIBOT A1 is built to keep up.

Using a combination of LiDAR, ToF, ultrasonic, and infrared sensors, the A1 processes real-time spatial data to navigate around obstacles during each disinfection program, without needing staff to intervene or reposition it manually.

It's built to work within your existing workflows, not around them. That means more consistent coverage even when the environment doesn't cooperate.

What does your space look like between shifts? We'd love to hear how your team handles it.

Even thorough manual cleaning and disinfection can leave some surfaces contaminated. Studies show that between 5% and 30% of surfaces may still carry pathogens after manual cleaning and disinfection protocols are completed.

That's not a criticism of cleaning teams. It's a reflection of how complex real-world surfaces are.

It's also why UV-C is used as a second layer alongside manual cleaning rather than instead of it. UV-C can be particularly useful in high-traffic, high-touch areas where bioburden is high and manual disinfection is harder to achieve consistently.

Layering manual cleaning with UV-C closes the gaps and reinforces thorough disinfection.

The ADIBOT A1 is built to support the teams behind it. Once deployed, it operates autonomously: following custom-mapped workflows, processing real-time sensor data and navigating dynamically to complete each disinfection program with precision.

Cycles run consistently, during off-hours and through the busiest stretches, without adding to anyone's mental load.

The A1 is built to work alongside the people behind the protocol, bringing automation and precision to a process that demands both consistency and care.

It doesn't change what's expected. It makes meeting that expectation easier.

UV-C works at the molecular level, and the mechanism is well understood.

At wavelengths between 250 and 270 nm, UV-C is absorbed by the pyrimidine bases in microbial DNA and RNA. That absorption forms structures called pyrimidine dimers, which block transcription and replication. A microorganism that cannot replicate cannot spread.
This is the photochemical mechanism behind germicidal UV, established across decades of peer-reviewed research.

What questions do you have about how UV-C actually works?

Shadowing is not just a concept. It is a real challenge in UV-C disinfection.

Objects in a room can block UV-C light and create areas that receive less or no exposure. TGR's ADIBOT A1 is designed with real-time 3D mapping and LiDAR-based navigation to detect obstacles and move around them during operation. This helps support more complete exposure across complex environments where fixed-position systems may leave gaps.
Effective disinfection is not only about exposure. It is about achieving consistent coverage across all reachable surfaces.

In high-dependency environments, reducing missed areas is an important part of supporting overall infection control protocols.

Distance in UV-C disinfection isn’t guesswork. It’s physics.

UV-C intensity follows the Inverse Square Law: as distance increases, intensity drops rapidly. Under ideal conditions, doubling the distance reduces intensity to ~25%.

In real environments, it gets more complex. Shadowing, surface angles, and device geometry all influence delivered dose.

For dynamic spaces, this has real implications:
• Small positioning changes can significantly impact effectiveness
• Line-of-sight matters more than most expect
• Consistency in placement is critical for repeatable outcomes

Positioning isn’t a detail. It’s a core part of the disinfection strategy.

Most of us think of UV light as sunlight, but not all UV works the same way.

UV-C, the type commonly used for disinfection, never naturally reaches the Earth’s surface. It’s absorbed in the ozone layer, so any UV-C used in labs or clinical spaces has to be intentionally generated.
At around 254nm, UV-C is effective because it disrupts the DNA of microorganisms, stopping them from reproducing.

It also doesn’t pe*****te as deeply as other types of UV, but it still needs to be used carefully to avoid exposure to skin and eyes.
Understanding how UV-C works helps ensure it’s used safely and effectively in real-world environments.

Robots aren’t just programmed. They perceive.

The A1 uses LiDAR and SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) to continuously scan its surroundings, build real-time maps, and adjust its path as it moves — identifying walls, equipment, and open space without human input.

This isn't automation on a fixed route. It's situational awareness in a dynamic environment.

In environments where precision matters, that awareness helps minimize missed surfaces, navigate complex layouts, and support more consistent disinfection coverage.

Innovation is only meaningful when it's safe, intuitive, and built around the needs of the people using it. Our robots reflect these values at TGR, combining human-centered design with intelligent, reliable performance.
