Abstract
People's health and the world economy around worldwide are under the impact of the virus. Controlling the propagation of coronavirus is extraordinarily challenging after the seventeen months since the pandemic outbreak. This research will represent the efficiency of robots in helping humanity in facing the Corona pandemic and the global health crisis. According to the quick and widespread Covid-19 contagion globally, healthcare service demand increased staff with less availability. In this crisis, robotics is the safe solution at a low price to support people to fight Covid-19.Furthermore, it is essential to relax lockdown restrictions after the increase in the number of people vaccinated. In this context, we designed a mobile robot with a thermal temperature scanner for pedestrians and identified those with abnormal temperatures over 39°C in public places and track them in real time. This robot features a long-lasting, lightweight battery and a high-quality thermal camera. Our primary target is to reduce the risk of transmission between people. We use a single-board computer and a thermal camera to detect unusual fevers near real-time to achieve this design and prototyping. In addition, we use image processing to detect target pedestrians and a control system to guide the robot. This robot can bypass any potential obstacles that can prevent it from moving around and cause problems. The development of this robot mainly focuses on the real-time measurement of body temperature at a distance of two meters. The compensation algorithm can coordinate between the mechanical parts of the robot and high-efficiency design.
Highlights
The Covid-19 virus has changed our daily life and habits
Reports issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) say that the organization will continue to apply preventive measures such as masks and social distancing in effect in every area of life despite the increase in the number of people who have been vaccinated in recent months [5]–[7]
The developed screening system can be applied to airports, metro stations, highways, schools, banks, supermarkets, and any other place requiring automatic follow abnormal body temperature
Summary
The Covid-19 virus has changed our daily life and habits. Most people want to go back to their pre-Covid lives and look back at their regular living days once the lockdown is lifted [1], [2]. Things are not expected to be as they in a short time [3], [4]. By 2021, rich countries began vaccinating their citizens at a very high rate. Reports issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) say that the organization will continue to apply preventive measures such as masks and social distancing in effect in every area of life despite the increase in the number of people who have been vaccinated in recent months [5]–[7]. It was clear that the pandemic caused significant losses in the iJOE ‒ Vol 17, No 11, 2021
