INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Modern technologies and the beginning of machines followed by the smart

system of data and information have now influence the humankind in the 21st century.

Computers, systems and software make easier to do everyday task, and it is impractical to

envision the new era’s life could be control without them. Moreover, technology which

makes together tools to promote development, and has as its main purpose of the solving

of many problems of mankind. Technology in economy reaches out the thing that this are

the key driver of economic growth of countries, regions, and cities. It advances allows for

the more efficient production of better goods and services. Information in community

development is to give power and a voice to people within the larger ecosystem. A simple

solution, such as providing information to the community through transformation of data

devices that highlights the role of technology that plays in accelerating development.

Ecosystems organize the network that drives the creation and delivery of information

technology products and services that defined by core components made by the platform

owner and complemented applications. Through innovation, they produce or invented a

machine that seem like a living creature that is operated by a wheel and it is operated by a

computer or programmable device that perform actions and transmit as a moving object.

According to Royakkers and Est (2015), the study of new robotics is driven by

two long-term engineering ambitions. Firstly, there is the engineering dream of building

machines that can move and act autonomously in complex and unstructured
 2

environments. Secondly, there is the dream of building machines that are capable of

social behavior and have the capacity for moral decision making. Moreover, there is a

thing that can help the environment to protect different areas such as home, health care,

traffic, and companies in terms of disinfection. Others are favor with the implementation

of robots and technologies that can save workers from performing dangerous task,

meanwhile robots are criticized due to rising of technological creature that people have

been replace from being a worker or employee that progress the time to pursue the

advantages and disadvantages of robots. Somehow new robotics no longer concerns only

factor applications, but also the use of robotics in a more complex and unstructured

outside world, that numerous human activities, such as caring for the sick, making love,

and killing people due to the use of military sector that led into change of society cause of

advancement of war technology.

The possibilities of robot sovereignty and the potential aspects have been named

in community and may be a genuine concern in the future that expectedly to be more on

information technology. Otherwise implementing a robot that has something to do with

the economy saves life especially in times of pandemic that virus is needed the ways

of disinfection using robots to avoid contamination to the society. In pursuing

disinfecting patrol robot, its expanse forces to the benefits of the robot in assisting

frontliners to measure the effectiveness of disinfecting robot in environment. In spite of

pandemic or corona virus disease 2019, many of people have been invented or

implemented disinfecting robots to slow down the transmission of the virus and to get rid

of them like the drone disinfectant that government accelerated the labor of gambling

disinfecting robots.
 3

In addition, Reagan (2020) the disinfectant drones can spray over large facilities

such as stadiums and ballparks, or indoor buildings such as jails and government offices.

Company officials hope customers will see the value in using a single drone flight to

disinfect an area rather than having to spend more time and money hiring several human

cleaners. As stated by Eaglehawk (2020) many of their clients are responsible for keeping

their facilities safe and clean, especially during these unprecedented times. Furthermore,

University of Santo Tomas (2020) announce a call for proposals immediate response to

COVID 19 pandemic and design the new model to be multi-functional, meaning the robot

will not only be a remote-controlled telepresence robot, but can also be used to disinfect

bacteria/viruses in a room. Although this automation can gain more productivity in the

future and minimize the risk of frontliners or workers that can become more positive

ways through the war against pandemic.

In addition, Avidbots (2020) Many experts have come to understand how novel

coronavirus spreads an infected person coughs or sneezes producing droplets that are

sprayed onto their surroundings. Depending on where that person is, surfaces can include

doorknobs, light switches, walls, doors, and the floor or pathways. When it comes to

cleaning it is important to focus our disinfecting efforts on high-touch surfaces that begin

spending as much time sanitizing the floors on a regular basis as it is cleaning other

areas. 

Moreover, M Tech-Ideas (2020) Many Indian Inventors using Arduino made the

ideas and process of making the title Automatic Plant Watering system using Arduino

Uno and water pump (Via Bluetooth Controlled) that the project proposes in YouTube

where the ideas begin to improve more by the innovators.

Summary of Findings

This project was designed to determine the effectiveness of the prototype

disinfecting patrol wherein it is aimed to describe the disinfecting patrol robot in terms of

science connectivity, innovation, project objectives, market value, application,

appearance, materials and equipment, advantages to the students and faculty, and lastly,

its mobility. Also, to determine the efficiency of the robot in terms of its disinfecting

ability.

The researcher found out that the prototype disinfecting patrol robot is effective in

assisting the frontliners and teachers and its disinfecting ability which showcases an

exceptional work. The project was described excellently when it comes to science

connectivity, innovation, advantages to the frontliners and teachers, project objectives,

and application whereas the project was labelled as very good in terms of market value,

appearance, materials and equipment, and lastly mobility.

Conclusions

Based from the results of the study, the following conclusions are drawn:

1. The prototype disinfecting patrol robot is outstanding in terms science

connectivity, innovation, Advantages to the frontliners and teachers, project objectives,

and application since the overall mean are 4.85, 4.68. 4.75, 4.69, and 4.85 is excellent. In

addition, the market value, appearance, materials and equipment, and lastly mobility with

a mean of 4.47, 4.48, 4.28, and 4.48 respectively, it is described as very good.
 28

2. The prototype disinfecting patrol robot is effective since the efficiency of the

robot in disinfecting schoolgrounds is excellent which is equal to the overall mean of

4.67.

Recommendations

On the basis conclusions represented, the following recommendations are

proposed:

1. When making a disinfecting patrol robot the water pump should gain more

pressure to spray more widely through the pathways, not to damp the area or pathways in

a single way with disinfectant. Moreover, the mobile bluetooth controller should replace

with a 2.4 or 5 GHz controller to cover a wider range area.

2. Although it is only a prototype it must show a 3D model for the next generation

of this product, the product will have a bigger and better version in the future, and it must

be easier to manage.

3. The product had been verbally described as very good because it must possess

availability, easy to manage, affordable, utilized programmed materials, has a high

quality, and the product is stable. Furthermore, it can compete to other commercialized

products in terms of its price, properties and accessibility, the product must be appealing,

and presentable.

4. For the students, who is taking the strand of Science, Technology, Engineering

and Mathematics (STEM), they should be critical thinkers and increase Science

knowledge which enables the next generation of innovators. Since, innovation leads to
 29

new products and processes that sustain the economy. Furthermore, the students should

know first the specifications of the product before buying and lastly, improve time

management. This innovation and Science literacy depend on a solid knowledge base in

the STEM areas.
