  • Publication number: 20210308880
    Abstract: A self-disinfecting robot including an exterior surface. The robot includes at least one light emitting component arranged to illuminate at least a part of the exterior surface with disinfecting light from inside the robot. By projecting disinfecting light from the inside of the robot, one may provide a constant and complete disinfection of the exterior surface (or selected parts of it) e.g. during service or operation, including when the robot is moving around. The solution also allows disinfection of e.g. crevices that would also be difficult to disinfect from the outside. Furthermore, the robot may also, to some extent, treat the surrounding environment and in particular the airborne particles around the robot. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding method for disinfecting a robot, to a computer program and to a computer program product.

  • Patent number: 9583237
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a polymer-insulated conductor. The method includes the steps of a) providing a conductor having a first cross-sectional shape, b) passing the conductor through a conductor-shaping die to shape the conductor such that the conductor obtains a second cross-sectional shape, wherein frictional heat is developed in the conductor, thereby setting the conductor in a heated state, c) applying molten polymer to the conductor when the conductor is in the heated state to obtain a polymer-coated conductor, and d) shaping the polymer-coated conductor by means of a polymer-shaping die to thereby obtain the polymer-insulated conductor.
