Development Sanitizer Sprinkler For Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 mandates an increase in the use of service robots as human replacements in polluted areas. This task encompasses logistics, patient care, and disinfection, all of which limit the danger of human exposure to the extremely infectious and fatal illness. To fulfil the criteria of the World Health organization, the certified sanitizing system is a method for decontaminating individuals and surfaces. In this work, an automated sanitizing equipment is designed. The equipment spray a sanitizer solution is the area to be disinfected. The transportable sanitizing unit is mounted to the robot's head. SolidWorks software is used to design the equipment. Design included identifying main parts of the system, deciding about material for different parts, and 3D design of each of the parts. Finally, the assembly of the complete system is presented. The finalized product was then simulated in MATLAB. Analysis of the system included flowrate, pressure, and maximum spray distance. Results obtained are consistent with requirements. © 2022 IEEE.
