Egypt’s foremost Biomedical company, BIOTECH plans to begin a robotic devices assembly in Egypt in the second half of 2021.
According to the company’s Director Sherif Khattab, Biotechnology for Medical Engineering Company (BIOTECH) will bring together robots that could be deployed in airports, hospitals, malls, metro stations, and public spaces for disinfection and sterilisation purposes using ultraviolet waves.
The robot which consists of a moving base furnished with multiple sensors allows it to determine its path by scanning its surroundings and creating a digital map to avoid collision with objects around it.
In the first six months of production, BIOTECH plans to sell about 200 robots in Alexandria and Cairo governorates. The company is currently liaising with EgyptAir and the Egyptian Ministry of Health for quality assurance and certification.
