Mobile Covid Sanitization Robot

As the second wave of the Novel Coronavirus hits the world, a staggering number of COVID-19 cases have been reported. The COVID-19 cases in India also are substantially high. Most of the existing systems require a human to be physically present to manually disinfect the surfaces. To reduce and limit the COVID-19 cases, person-to-person interaction, cleaning and sterilization from time to time is the demand of the present day. Robots can be employed to save time as well as support these processes in hospitals, thus minimizing the life threat to people. In the present work, a robot (Covid Bot) is equipped with a sanitizing mechanism which can be operated remotely to sanitize all required areas. © 2021 IEEE.
