Johns Hopkins Experiments With Robots For Infection Control

Robots Fight Superbugs In Hospitals by Christina Ortiz.  Discovery News.  January 3, 2012.

Johns Hopkins Hospital is experimenting with two robots in its infection control efforts to prevent the rise of superbugs.  One robot sprays a light bleaching agent into a sealed room.  A thin layer of hydrogen peroxide coats all the surfaces of the room.  The second robot breaks down the bleaching agent into its water and oxygen components, making it non-toxic.  The hospital has bought two pairs of robots after positive test results.
