Grant Description

Akara is a spin-out from one of Europes leading robotics labs at Trinity College Dublin.

The founders collectively boast more than 40-years experience developing and deploying some of the most advanced robotic systems ever built to support front-line workers in the healthcare industry; last year one solution was featured on the cover of Time magazine, a first for a European company.

Akara offers Violet, an AI-powered autonomous robot equipped with UV light a scientifically proven germ-killer - for disinfection of hospitals, nursing homes and potentially endless other areas where harmful germs reside.

Violet has been extensively tested in real clinical settings resulting in: 3X more effective at killing germs; 2-4X less time to disinfect rooms than the current approach.

Violet is the only UV robot designed to be safe for use around people; this overcomes fundamental limitations of state-of-the-art disinfection technology, which require rooms to be evacuated before and during use.
