South Carolina Doctor Builds Ebola-Fighting Robot

Dr. Jeff Deal, from South Carolina, has created a germ-fighting robot which he has now deployed as a potential Ebola-fighting machine.

The five foot tall robot is called Tru-D, and features a UVC light capable of breaking down the DNA of organisms, or in this case viruses.

Two Tru-D robots have already been sent to Liberia and Dr. Deal plans to travel there himself this week in order to properly train people on how to use the robot to help fight the spread of Ebola.

According to Deal, “The heart of the device are these sensors on top of the device. What these bulbs are, they produce UVC in amazingly high doses.”
