Hills Engineering introduced ‘Heybot’, which won the Innovation Award at CES 2022. Heybot, an AI smart-based disinfection and guide robot developed by Hills Engineering, performs non-face-to-face work in large-scale gathering facilities such as convention centers and hospitals, which are vulnerable to quarantine in the global pandemic, and prevents the spread of the virus. It is a specialized robot to lead the times.

For customer safety, Heybot is designed to operate a UVC lamp with sterilization function and a chemical spray nozzle contactless through 5G communication. In addition, sterilization and air cleaning filters and air freshener spraying can be optionally built in, providing a healing function to the vulnerable people in hospitals and nursing homes, beyond simple quarantine and guidance.
