Social Distancing Monitoring Robot For Queue
Social Distancing Monitoring Robot For Queue
Social distancing is of key importance during the current pandemic. It helps limit the spread
of covid by observing distance between disease spreading individuals. Now it is not possible
to station a person 24×7 at each queue to monitor social distancing violations. Banks, Public
Offices, Malls, Schools, Theatres etc usually see long queues for hours every day. To ensure
social distancing in queues we hereby design a social distancing monitoring robot.
The robot consists of a 4 wheel design system used to drive the robotic vehicle. It makes use
of a line following principle to constantly move along with the queue and monitor for social
distancing violations. The robotic uses IR sensing to travel along with the queue to and fro in
order to detect violations. The robot is now equipped with obstacle detecting ultrasonic
sensor in order to detect obstacles in the vehicle path.
The robotic vehicle uses another ultrasonic sensor for detecting distance between 2
individuals in a queue. It any 2 individuals are found having less than 3 feet distance between
them, the robot instantly sounds a buzzer and alert to inform about the violation.
