 DESCRIPTION

I took the idea from a team of robotics-trained refugees of Zaatari

that designed a lego robot which dispenses hand sanitizer without
being touched.

The idea is simple: help prevent the spread of covid with a cheap
sanitizer dispenser, but to reduce transmission of the virus it has to
work without touching it.

This is possible thanks to its sensor, which is activated by

movement and moves the pieces of lego down in order to pour the
gel.

The sensor is connected to a battery on the low part of the robot, so

it can´t be seen.

VERIFICATION
MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Most of my robot is square, except for the gel and the eyes. Its
dimensions are of a considerable size (40x10) but this helps to have
more gel and helps more people in a longer period of time, that is, it
mustn´t be filled very occasionally. It is of many colors and very
attractive to the eye.

FUNCIONAL ANALYSIS

It is really easy to use. You only need put your hands under the
sensor. Thanks to my invention people will stop contagious through
the hands and with the help of masks, covid will be dealt with
effectively.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Here there is a table of the materials and its properties

MATERIAL PROPERTIES
Has elasticity and isolation, for amortiguate and to not
Wheels
conduct electricity.
Has hardness, that means that is protected to be
Rigid plastic
scratched by another
Cables Are conductors of electricity

Gel Elimination of viruses and bacterias

DURABILITY

The durability of the gel and the battery depends of how many times
a day people used it, but you can replaced both. The rest of the
object can be used many years if you have care with it.

SUSTAINABILITY

Except of the sensor and the battery, the materials can be recycled.
Anyway, there are batteries that are less harmful with the
environment and that you can recycle. So in general, my materials
are reusable, collaborating with each other we will ensure my robot
doesn´t affect the environment.

FUTURE CONSIDERANTIONS
I think my design could be made from recycled plastics or adapted
to the people that will buy it. I mean if the robot will be destined to
kids it can have more colors and shape and if it and if it is going to
be for a work office, with less shapes.
