DUBLIN, California: Dublin High School’s robotics team has come up with a creative solution to help clean parts of the school outside during the pandemic – a sanitising drone.

They call it the TERSUS Project – meaning “clean” in Latin, and also an acronym for Technologically Effective Rapid Smart Unmanned Sanitiser. The drone was designed by the Gael Force Robotics Team, and the project has 10 students working to design, construct and eventually fly the sanitising drone.
