Abstract : Robotics is very important these day , robotics is use in many of industries. In pandemic time it was
observed that there was short of health care workers or workers for manual cleaning purposes.Therefore , for
this problem we came up with solution of using autonomous sanitization robot which can be use in any commercial
places to sanitize the disinfected areas. With the use of line follower and PIR sensor robot will work automatically
without any external guidance and sanitize the given area. Specially in hospitals use of this robot is important
to stop the spread of contiguous diseases.This project highlights the importance of medical robotics.
Keywords – Robotics, health care, autonomous sanitization, line follower, medical robotics .

I. INTRODUCTION

As an advancement during the emergence of networked robots within the cloud, the web of Robot Things
was implemented where they'll do many different tasks to make life easier. To prevent the spread of the
coronavirus inside hospitals and other public places, it becomes essential to keep surfaces disinfected. But the
manual cleaning process is less effective and considering the chance of getting infected.
The autonomous robot will play a vital role during the present pandemic situation. During this pandemic
situation, many hospitals are facing the biggest issue is a shortage of health care workers. Recently many high-
risk and high-touch areas, intelligent navigation, and detection systems are used. In recent days house cleaning
robots are famous for their hygiene room cleaning system.
Sanitization, which has become a essential aspect in these pandemic times and plays a crucial role in
preventing us from exposure to this deadly virus and thus helping in the eradication of this global pandemic. The
objective of this project is to minimize human association as much as possible and make it easier and automatic.
In this case, the use of robots can reduce human interference in sanitizing process. Even To develop a user-friendly
system so anybody with very basic knowledge can handle the machine.
The objective of this project is to minimize human association as much as possible and thus automating
the tasks such as sanitization with the help of robots. Using robot for sanitisation will reduce human
involvement.Even a user friendly system can be made, So anybody with very basic knowledge can handle the
machine.
This robot is designed to provide autonomous solution for sanitizing and disinfection which we faced In
covid-19. It Plays vital role in preventing from virus in global pandemic. It Reduces human efforts and risk to
personels, non skilled person can handle this robot. Cleaning process will be fast, comfortable and easily
handled.also there is Use of sensors like PIR (Human Detection).

The ESP32 is the microcontroller that would be used in this system A L293D motor driver will be used to drive
the motors connected to drive the robot. Out of the 4 wheels of the robot, 2 wheels of the robot will be powered
using motor while 2 wheels would be dummy wheels. The robot will be powered using rechargeable batteries.
The robot uses line following mechanism using two IR Sensors which makes it completely autonomous. An
ultrasonic sensor is used for obstacle detection. PIR Sensor is used to detect presence of humans in order to avoid
spraying on them. Another ultrasonic sensor would be used to keep a count of liquid used for sanitization. A
pump motor along with a sprayer nozzle will be used to spray liquid. This would be controlled using a relay. An
I2C LCD is used to display battery level as well as sanitizer level. A buzzer is used for alerting in different cases.
This robot can be used for other purposes also such as spraying pesticides, fertilizers or also for watering the
plants etc.

In Buzzer System:

If any 1 is on then Buzzer will Activate, otherwise Buzzer is in deactivated position.

If the PIR sensor detects someone the value of PIR sensor goes high which in turn gives a
signal to the buzzer to switch on.
The buzzer also activates when the sanitizer in the container goes below a threshold level.

VII. CONCLUSION

This sprayer bot serves as a reliable and efficient system for sanitation facilities. It is cost efficient and
consumes less power. The system can easily be used in the current scenario of COVID-19 to sprinkle sanitizers
in hospitals. The robot reduces physical work by spraying sanitizer and can be used for spraying other liquids too.
This sprayer bot completely works autonomously, is cost-efficient and saves time.
