Teleoperation System for v-Based Sterilization Robot

Abstract

In December 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia of an unknown etiology emerged in Wuhan, China. A new coronavirus was identified as the cause, which has named 2019-nCoV by the World Health Organization (WHO). January 25, 2020, a total of 1975 cases have been confirmed nationwide with another 2684 cases suspected of being caused by 2019-nCoV / Covid-19. The case in Indonesia was first discovered on March 1, 2020. Based on a study on emerging cases, WHO equated prevention/crisis in the number of sufferers with Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). WHO confirms that human-to-human virus transmission can occur through droplets, contact, and fomites (the source of infection from inanimate objects). Fomites can be various objects that are touched in daily activities, such as door handles, train handles, chairs, tables, etc. So this research aims to present a solution by using robots for sterilization based on ultraviolet lamps. The robot is designed with a differential drive system and is connected to a computer via a telemetry device. An FPV camera is mounted on the front of the robot to aid operator vision for remote control. The output shows that the room sterilization process can be done remotely without the need for physical contact.
