2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19): Toward a Novel Design for Disinfection Robot to Combat Coronavirus (Covid-19) Using IoT Based Technology

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 19 or well known asCovid-19 is infectious disease that attack human respirator system. This virus is contagious due to its fast transmission from small droplets that come to people that sneezing, coughing, or even talking. This virus can stay in air for long time and it also can survive on the inanimate surface things. During this time, some places like hospital, mall, and station are places where crowds gathered. People in those places have possibility to spread the virus not only through close contact but also due to touching the infected surfaces. That is why device that able to clean the infected surfaces needed. The Internet of Things based robots may give big impact in combating the coronavirus that stay on inanimate surfaces. The proposed system is the robot that able to disinfect the surfaces of things using UV-C lights. The implementation of UV disinfectant robot will indeed help health authorities in reducing the transmission.

Internet of Things use case applications for COVID-19

“…An IoT-based system was developed for disinfecting areas using UAVs technology ( Mohammed, Syamsudin, Hazairin et al, 2020 ). The authors implemented their system aiming to lessen the workload for maintenance staff by remotely sanitizing the areas.…”

Covid-19 Patient Health Monitoring System Using IoT

“…One of the potential solutions is the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) into the healthcare sector [17]. The Internet of Things is considered as one of the feasible solutions for any remote value tracking problems such as health monitoring [4][5][6][7][8][9], agriculture [10,11], transportation [12] and green technology [13]. The advancement of this technology has given a significant impact on healthcare and well-being sector especially during the COVID-19 crisis.…”

“…Al-Humairi et al in [7] introduced an adaptive monitoring system and model of a smart Artificial intelligence (AI) helmet for Covid-19 detection based on body temperature. A disinfection robot presented in [8] is designed to disinfect surfaces using UV-C lights. L. Priyan et al in [9[ suggested a mobile application to monitor physical distance using Bluetooth or camera module through Augmented Reality to monitor user distance from other individual.…”

2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19): Toward a Novel Design for Nasopharyngeal and Oropharyngeal Swabbing Robot

“…If an uninfected person sits or stands next to an infected one, the possibility of infection will be higher particularly during breathing or being in contact with contaminated objects and then touching eyes, nose or mouth. The crowded and indoor places promote the quick spread of the virus [4][5][6][7][8]. The Automated testing robots offer high throughput and rapid tackling of lots amount of required tests simultaneously during the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2.…”
