Design and Fabrication Ground and Utility Disinfector

Prassana Raut

Abstract


Difficulties Faced by this dangerous virus COVID-19 and its associated lockdowns, many individuals and companies have turned to robots in order to overcome the challenges of the pandemic. The role of mobile robots for cleaning and sanitation purposes is increasing worldwide. Compared with traditional human labour, robotic and autonomous systems have advantages such as an intrinsic resistance or immunity to the virus and an inability for human-robot-human spread of any diseasecausing species of bacteria, though there are still many technical hurdles for the robotics industry to overcome. The ground and utility disinfector created, which has a multipurpose use i.e. UVC light sterilization and Jet sprayer disinfector we expect the robotics industry to take a forward step due to this unexpected pandemic. The cooperative control between the spraying and wiping is developed in the Robotic Operating System. The control module uses the information obtained from the detection module to generate a task/operational space for the robot, along with evaluating the desired position to actuate the manipulators. Few problems from previous model are newly added during this prototype and required test are administered
