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
WHAT WOULD WE DO IF WE FLY TO MARS?
