Problem
One problem is the autonomous movement of the germicidal disinfection robot; it could
be caused by code operations that need to be tweaked or improved to work as intended
precisely enough, or by the sensor's quality. Its quality, calibration, and surroundings can
all have an impact on the ultrasonic sensor's ability to measure distance and identify
obstructions. Another problem we've noted and are aware of is that the LCD module's
(16x2) measurement doesn't display complete words or characters. This problem could be
caused by the code configuration that controls the display module, which may not yet be
configured to display the whole word or characters and needs to be fixed.
Application
Our goal is to make a robot that can neutralize or eradicate
microorganisms. This is the ultimate goal of disinfection and
sterilization in order to stop the spread of illnesses and diseases
that are carried by the air. The likelihood of disease transmission is
decreased with the help of proper disinfection and sterilization.
The prevention and spread of illness depends heavily on surface
disinfection. A safe life is ensured by effective and regular
environmental disinfection.
Application
Expected Outcome:
To be able to create a robot that will make it
easier for people to move around in
environments containing a wide range of bacteria
and viruses, while also lowering the risk of
infection in both spaced areas and surfaces.
