In healthcare and public environments, maintaining hygiene standards is critical to preventing the spread of infections. Traditional disinfection methods are time-consuming, unreliable, and expose workers to harmful pathogens. To address these challenges, a cloud-connected UV disinfection robot is introduced, automating surface sterilization using UV-C light to ensure effective pathogen elimination while minimizing human exposure. The system integrates microcontroller, UV-C LEDs, environmental sensors, and navigation modules. By connecting to a cloud-based platform, the robot provides real-time monitoring and control through a human-machine interface, allowing operators to receive performance data. The solution incorporates real time data analysis to optimize disinfection parameters and environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality ensuring maximum efficiency. The use of UV-C technology, cloud connectivity, and advanced data analysis makes this system effective tool for controlling pandemics.This work also includes an Impact analysis and scoring of the environmental factors on pandemic spread.
