About Chuangze Intelligent Disinfection Robot
Chuangze is an autonomous mobile disinfection robot for public places such as hospitals and hotels. A plasma air purification module, a surround ultraviolet lamp and a ground disinfection module treat air, surfaces and floors, reaching a disinfection rate of 99.9 percent. Face recognition and body temperature measurement are also included. The robot follows self-planned paths to preset locations and modes, and the ultraviolet lamp is switched off when a person is detected. The outer shell is made of injection molded PC and ABS.
Chuangze Intelligent Robot Group's Intelligent Disinfection Robot emerges from the intersection of autonomous robotics and public health technology, representing a sophisticated response to contemporary needs for intelligent environmental sanitation within medical facilities, public spaces, and high-traffic environments. This award-winning design demonstrates remarkable synthesis of functional engineering requirements with thoughtful aesthetic consideration, resulting in a form that communicates both technological capability and human-centered approachability. The vertical massing and predominantly silver-white coloration establish visual associations with clinical cleanliness and medical-grade precision, while the softened corner radii and the anthropomorphic arrangement of the camera sensor and tilted display screen introduce qualities of attentiveness and service orientation that may help mitigate potential user apprehension toward autonomous systems. The UV-C sterilization tubes, visible through dedicated vertical apertures, emit a distinctive blue-violet luminescence that serves dual purposes: functional indication of active disinfection processes and aesthetic dramatization that transforms utilitarian technology into visually compelling presence. Technical accomplishment appears in the seamless integration of diverse functional components, from the omnidirectional mobility platform to the articulated display arm, unified through consistent design language and material palette. The perforated ventilation grilles demonstrate attention to both thermal management requirements and visual rhythm, their geometric patterns providing welcome textural interest against smooth panel expanses. Surface finish differentiation between the refined metallic body and robust black chassis components effectively communicates the distinction between user-facing elements and industrial-grade mechanical systems. This design philosophy recalls traditions of making complex technology approachable through considered form-giving, a lineage traceable through decades of product design evolution from early computing interfaces to contemporary service robotics. Viewers might contemplate how autonomous systems can embody care and service through their physical presence, and how design choices shape human acceptance of technological assistance in intimate environments.

- Tags
- Intelligent Disinfection Robot, UV lamp, Plasma Air Purification, Public Places, Human-machine Cooperation, Unmanned Disinfection Modes
- Production Technology
- With PC and ABS injection molding for the outer shell and sheet metal and harmless spraying process for the interior, the product has been optimized several times to ensure its fast assembly and solid main structure. Moreover, it has a specially considered chassis counterweight that guarantees smooth operation, and the ground disinfection module is made of PA material that is not easily corroded to ensure convenient maintenance.
- Design Challenge
- Our biggest challenge lies in ensuring the universality and operation efficiency of the product, making it versatile and complying with the international standards for hospitals and related public indoor environment.
- Project Duration
- This project commenced and ended in Rizhao, Shandong Province in February 2020 and August 2020 respectively, and was exhibited at Gansu Smart Manufacturing Production-Supply-Marketing Matchmaking and Launch of New Chuangze Smart Robot in September 2020.
- Operation Flow
- By backend setting of disinfection mode, time and location, it can move to the workplace through autonomously-planned paths to carry out disinfection tasks as per the set mode. It enables human-machine cooperation and unmanned disinfection modes by combining human-sensing device, which intelligently turns off the UV lamp when detecting people entry. It can also deliver knowledge on epidemic prevention by combining AI and in-depth learning-based natural language processing technology.
- Research
- We collect and study various data from consumers, designers and medical workers.
Objective: to provide modern solutions for disinfection in public places.
