ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A small, rectangular-shaped robot on wheels is roaming around St. Mary’s Catholic School in Albuquerque, autonomously disinfecting the building to protect students and staff from the pandemic.
Four more robots have cruised the Albuquerque International Sunport since May, constantly disinfecting the facility to avoid COVID-19 spread in one of the city’s most-trafficked places.
St. Mary’s, however, is the first New Mexico school to adopt the “Breezy One” mobile machine, made by Albuquerque-based Build with Robots, which is now aggressively marketing it to school districts in Texas and Arkansas as well.
