Abstract

Sanitization is not a new term, but with the evolution of deadly COVID-19, the process came into the limelight quickly. The process was already utilized widely in hospitals, vaccination centers, food processing units, and medicine industries and suddenly became crucial in every domain related to our lives. Even though sanitization is considered the first line of defense against pandemic viruses like COVID-19, it is highly difficult to sanitize every nook and corner of bigger buildings and external structures like airports, railway stations, theaters, institutions, and hospitals. Slight carelessness to eliminate the virus from the sanitization process can reciprocate in the pandemic spread. Our proposed work deals with utilizing the accuracy and precision of robots to effectively sanitize bigger structures. The multi-faceted methodology of the work manages the comprehensive investigation of the robotic unit for the social setting. The concentrate additionally stretches out to refine the standard human behavioral reaction for modern robotic consideration in our lives. This will ease up the process and, at the same time, will reduce the chance of human error. The robotic structure is powered by a 12 V rechargeable battery, which has manual and automation cleaning modes. During manual mode, we control the robot with an Android application installed on the phone and connected with the robot through Bluetooth wireless connectivity. During automation, the mode robot moves in different directions and cleans and sanitizes the area independently. There is an ESP8266-based IoT connection unit to update the overall process for the cloud.
