ABSTRACT
The current pneumonia spread caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in China is representing an incredible risk and proclaimed a worldwide emergency of public health. As the continuous worldwide spreading of COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing has brought about the new situation, countries begin to search how technology can assist us during this pandemic. Empowering safety concerns and data collection from risky and inaccessible areas for human, drones are presently a large portion of the puzzle and are supporting in different means to mitigate operator lacks and minimize exposure to COVID-19 – part of them being the disinfection of cities. Sanitization of public zones is a challenging yet critical operation in the fight to prevent the outbreak of the COVID-19. On disinfecting operation, keeping near contact to the virus can promote the threat for human to get infected. Reduction of close contacts between individual and virus as well as minimize consumed time need to be carried out during disinfecting task. The aim of the present research is to design and develop of fogging disinfection system to combat coronavirus (covid-19) using IoT based drone technology. In addition, the system is equipped with an optical camera for observing of the fogging activity and additionally alert notify the near individuals from the mounted speaker regard the Covid-19 data update. The Virtual Reality (VR) has also carried out to control the drone camera to enhance tracking of the workplace. These preliminary experiments may act as a model for other investigators searching for response to the present health emergency. For long term, they can deliver lessons for private and public health systems that can involve drone technology into their design to mitigate future pandemics.
