Before welcoming fans back to the Bank of America Stadium Sunday, the Carolina Panthers have taken a number of COVID-19 precautions – including deploying three $125,000 “coronavirus-killing” robots.

The Panthers are the country’s first professional football team to use the robot, according to maker Xenex, Inc.

The Xenex LightStrike robot is a powerful xenon UV-ray device. The device launched in 2011 and had been used primarily in hospitals and other health care facilities, including Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic, before the coronavirus pandemic.
