Abstract

As of July 20, 2021 about 4 million people have lost their lives due to the Covid-19 global pandemic. According to the World Health Organization, two of the effective ways of preventing this disease are screening out the symptomatic individuals through temperature screening and promoting repeated hand sanitization among the masses. But health screening and proper sanitization is a major challenge in crowded public places with people entering in a short window of time. This study proposes a device that can automatically spray disinfectant on an individual’s hands and feet while standing in front of it. This robot can also measure the temperature and heart rate of that individual using sensors and send an email to authority in case there is any abnormality. Results after experiment shows that this robotic solution has produced 98.5% accurate results for temperature and 93% for heart rate. It is 40% faster than manual health screening and disinfection methods. This robot has been manufactured from locally sourced off-the-shelf components. However, with industry-grade instruments and mass production, the cost of solutions can be reduced by 70%. Thus, it is believed to be a low-cost solution helping the world in preventing the spread of Covid-19 viruses.
