IOT Social Distancing Monitoring Robot For Queue Dr Poppthi Naresh

The COVID19 pandemic which started in Wuhan, China last December 2019 has brought on a new era and new way of life- a new reality wherein social distancing has become a must for survival. With a markedly high worldwide infection of 15, 012, 731 confirmed cases and 619, 150 deaths, as well as markedly increasing national infections and deaths, the Philippines COVID-19 control and prevention demands the wearing of masks and a social distancing of 1 meter between individuals as the virus can spread through the saliva and through human contact. A major challenge to prevent the COVID19 infection is imposing social distancing especially in public places. Thus, we have come up with an automated social distancing robot using Arduino Uno driven ultrasonic, infrared sensors.
