ATTLEBORO, Mass. (WLNE) – Attleboro Public Schools is deploying robots into classrooms and other high-traffic areas in school buildings to fight coronavirus germs.
The district purchased 10 ADIBOT Disinfecting Systems, made by UBTECH Robotics, using federal COVID dollars for its nine schools. The brand new Attleboro High School will get two of the machines.
“It uses UV light technology that’s been employed in hospital operating rooms for decades,” said Marc Furtado, director of finance for the district. “We had a lot of success last year protecting our staff and protecting our students from the situation, and, you know, we’re certainly open to new ways to do that. We had very, very little school-based transmission and this is just gonna make that better.”
