Abstract

Two years ago, coronavirus COVID-19 spread all over the world. This virus causes the death of many people. The main problem is the way to maintain healthy hand wash in the circumstance of physical touch to the bottle that causes infection. The purpose of this paper is to design and implement a movable touchless hand sanitizer dispenser mobile robot that identifies the human body by processing the images taken from the camera to estimate the distance between the mobile robot and the human. A microcontroller board which is used to control four DC motors. The all design shows better activity than the usual and manual fixed touchless hand sanitizer design because the movable one can move with an acceptable error to the patient or a healthy person anywhere, he found. People can be protected from any virus or germs by using this proposed design. The main contribution of this work that our design system is useful in Anti-Covid-19 application and the total method has been collected the use of image processing, mobile robot, sensor hardware design, and the overall algorithm that control the application work.
