From Post‑COVID Roster to U.S. Army Hired
Just one week after snagging the Best Artificial Intelligence Company award at the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards 2020, Servicerobots.com has landed a heavyweight contract with the United States military. The West Midlands‑based robot whiz kid is slated to deliver a fleet of UVC disinfection bots to U.S. bases stationed in Germany.
What’s the deal?
- High‑powered ultraviolet C (UVC) lamps blast and sanitize hard‑to‑reach spots as the robots roam pre‑programmed maps.
- Designed to battle coronavirus and other bacterial foes in hospitals worldwide.
- Robots are already running on U.S. military equipment – the first unit was installed last week.
How it all started
Before the first UK lockdown, Servicerobots had been renting out robots to pop‑up events. The pandemic hit hard, but the team pivoted fast – moving from event hire to UVC disinfection technology. The decision won them a world‑wide spotlight and now a pressing Pentagon procurement.
Testimonial
Tim Warrington, CEO of Servicerobots, shared his excitement: “This is a great achievement for the company. We have been working tirelessly with the U.S. military and installed the first robot of the order last week. This has already opened up many other opportunities with companies that are interested in our products and the efficiencies they provide.”
What’s Next?
- Expand UVC offerings to more U.S. military sites.
- Leverage success to pitch to tech firms keen on automation and hygiene.
- Keep refining robots for ultra‑clean operations.
So from scrambling to ride a pandemic‑wave, to scoring a U.S. defense gig, Servicerobots is proving that a little pivot and a lot of grit can turn a near‑death into a triumph. Stay tuned for more high‑tech highlights.
