Design and Implementation of Sterilization Robot

The impact of robotics technology can be seen in every aspect of our daily lives, both at work and at home. Robotics has the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work by increasing efficiency, improving safety, and providing better services. This paper presents a design and implementation of a sterilization robot at the University of Technology Bahrain for research and practical purposes. The Sterilization Robot uses both ultraviolet sterilization and smoke sterilization techniques to sanitize rooms and corridors in various settings, such as classrooms, laboratories, and faculty offices. The robot is equipped with sensors, including color and ultrasonic sensors, to navigate and avoid obstacles during the sterilization process. It also includes a camera for remote monitoring of the process. The robot is controlled by four Lego Mindstorms robot inventor 51515 hubs that are connected via Bluetooth technology to transfer data between them and provide instructions and commands to control the robot. The design includes an air compressor and a tank with pressure and liquid level gauges, which help pump and control the flow of the sterilization solution. The use of the robot simplifies the sterilizing process, reduces the time required for sterilization, and is expected to be useful for various individuals and organizations.
