HealthCare Robot

Inspiration -

From the last few years we are suffering from covid – 19 pandemic , and even listening , not only from our parents but also from government to keep your surrounding clean and be safe at home . So, from there I got the idea that we can definitely clean the surrounding when we found it dirty by our eyes , but how to keep ourself clean and safe from the bacteria which is not even visible to us by our naked eyes . So, in search of this result , I have created a AI controlled Disinfectant Robot which helps us to keep our surrounding clean and safe .

What it does -

HealthCare Robot , as the name itself suggests that this project is related to the safety of human health from bacteria around us which are not visible to us with our naked eyes . So . to keep ourself safe from these type of bacteria , this project ( robot) is going to help us . It is basically AI controlled project . The main purpose of this project is to detect the bacteria around us and to kill them by using Ultraviolet Rays . We can say that this robot act as disinfectant .
These robots can be used as a simple solution for the immediate disinfection of rooms and spaces of all surfaces in one process and this will not only keep you and your close ones safe from the bacteria but also it will reduce the cost spend by different corporate sectors on cleaning staff . It can also help us in stopping the transmission of covid-19 virus from one person to another . This HealthCare Robot can be used in Home , Schools , Offices as well as in Hospitals .

How we built it -

For making this HealthCare Robot I have used the famous website tinkercad.com and internet also to overcome some problems which arise during creation . We require different Components and some coding also which helps our “Anti – COVID , proximity based Ultraviolet Disinfectant Robot “ to work properly . There are some components and their description which I am using to create this project on Tinkercad –

### Arduino Uno R3 - I was first time working with the electronics and coding part , So I searched on internet and I found maximum recommendation to use the Arduino UNO and it works well for me. The UNO is the most robust board and it is the most used and documented board of the whole Arduino family.

Breadboard Small -

A breadboard is a rectangular plastic board with a bunch of tiny holes in it . These holes are used to insert electronic components to prototype of an electronic circuit .

PIR Sensor -

I have used a PIR Sensor to detect the movement of the bacteria in the range , by picking up the infrared waves . The bacteria which is not visible to us emits infrared waves , the sensor will able to detect these waves and act accordingly .

Led -

I have used a led bulb that will blink when the HealthCare Robot will detect the bacteria in the range using the PIR Sensor . TinkerCad provides different colors of led like red, blue , yellow , green etc as per your choice you can change the color .

Resistor -

As we have studied in our earlier classes , A resistor is a passive twoterminal electrical component that is used as a resistance in electrical circuits . I have used resistor here so that my led bulb will not fuse during testing due to high and low voltage supply .

Piezo -

This is a device I have used which creates a noise when it detects bacteria, now the question arises that why I am using this device ? That is for the confirmation that my device is working properly or not . You can say both Led and Piezo can be used for detection of proper working of my HealthCare Robot ,as well as telling the user of robot that bacteria is within range but when this HealthCare Robot is used in public places maybe one cannot see the led light is blinking or not but one can hear the noise created . So , if the HealthCare Robot will not work properly then there will be no noise and it can be easily determined by the Piezo .

Wires -

I have used wires to connect these components . So we can use wires as per our requirement . In Tinkercad , we also got the options to change the color of the wires so that we can easily detect the wires . Wires as per use in the project.

Ultraviolet Rays -

Once the bacteria is detected by the PIR Sensor used in the model , then the bacteria will be killed with the help of UV rays , Here question arises like how can you use UV rays so effectively that it will not harmful for the human body . Before describing the killing of bacteria with the UV rays I want to tell about the Ultraviolet rays . Based on the rays wavelength , the Ultraviolet Rays is classified into 3 types - Ultraviolet A - ( UVA ) Ultraviolet B - ( UVB ) Ultraviolet C - ( UVC ) We are going to use UVC rays . This is the traditional form of germicidal UV that scientists have used to disinfect water, air, and surfaces for more than a century. UVC is effective at destroying and deactivating all kinds of pathogens like viruses, bacteria, mold, and fungus. For more info you can refer this - Blog . So , a proper connection of these components and a proper code , we will able to run this project properly .

Challenges we ran into -

When I gone for designing the HealthCare Robot , the first challenge that I faced was of connecting the circuit properly , as I was not much familiar with the electronics then I refer some blogs , again writing the code properly is also an important task , because if the code is not written well then the robot model will not operate properly . So , the sites which I refer to are as follows - Blog and Guide

Accomplishments that we're proud of -

Some accomplishments are as follows -

As I describe earlier , this is an AI controlled Anti – COVID proximity based robot which uses ultraviolet radiation to kill the bacteria around us which are not visible to us with our naked eyes. So , this robot can help us in keeping ourself and our close ones save from those type of bacteria .

Secondly , For any corporate sector or institutions , they basically always wants to reduce the expenditure so that they can get a profit . This HealthCare Robot is also going to help those corporate as if they use this robot then definitely they will not require that much cleaning staff and the cleaning stuff (floor cleaner)as well because the devise is based on UV radiation to kill germs and bacteria .

In this pandemic time , everyone cares about his/her health so basically in hospitals , in isolation centers where the covid patients are used to stay there also we require cleaning staff and it may be possible that the staff will also get infected so we can use this robot to clean the isolation centers as well . And by this way we can help to stop the transmission of this virus from one person to another.

As this robot is made up of just normal components so it will be cheaper also so that anyone can buy and use it at home .

What we learned -

As this model requires the proper connectivity of the different components , so we get an idea how to make a circuit and how to properly code it and a useful knowledge about the different components and their working .

What's next for HealthCare Robot -

In future if this idea will got success , then I also want to add a feature of cleaning the floor by robot when found it dirty by using the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning . Basically , it requires the model of supervised learning and I will try to do so . If I able to do so then , it will be one of the most effective cleaning device and can be effectively used in homes , offices , schools , institutes and hospitals .
