Abstract
An apparatus is provided for disinfection of an object. The apparatus includes a rotatable platform, a reflective surface on the rotatable platform, and a transmissive base to carry the object. The apparatus acquires information associated with the object, which includes one of a size of the object, a relative position, or an angular orientation of the object with respect to an ultraviolet light source. The apparatus determines one or more control parameters based on the acquired information, which includes one of a distance between the transmissive base and the reflective surface, a time period, or a speed of rotation of the rotatable platform. Based on the one or more control parameters, the apparatus controls a movement of the transmissive base and the rotation of the rotatable platform, to cause the reflective surface to reflect an ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light source onto the object, via the transmissive base.
