About

Sergio Genilson Pfleger is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, agricultural technology, and public health, with a focus on developing autonomous systems for disinfection and sanitation. His work addresses critical challenges in both industrial agriculture and infection control, leveraging low-cost, sustainable technologies. Pfleger’s most cited paper, “Mobile Robot + IoT: Project of Sustainable Technology for Sanitizing Broiler Poultry Litter” (2024, 9 citations), introduces an Industry 5.0-aligned robotic system that replaces hazardous manual pesticide application in aviaries, reducing farmers’ exposure to airborne chemicals. He further advanced autonomous disinfection during the COVID-19 pandemic with “Computational Capacity Analysis of Platforms for Low-Cost Autonomous Ultraviolet Germicidal Robots” (2021, 6 citations), which evaluated affordable robotic platforms for safe UV-C deployment. His recent systematic review, “UV‐C Disinfection Robots: A Systematic Review” (2025, 2 citations), synthesizes the field’s evolution across hospitals, schools, and public transit. By combining IoT, robotics, and UV-C technology, Pfleger’s work demonstrates how accessible autonomous systems can mitigate health risks in agriculture and public spaces, offering scalable solutions for a post-pandemic world.
