IOT Based Social Distancing Monitoring Robot For Queue Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

Social distancing from others is essential during pandemic. By keeping track of the distance between those who spread the sickness, covid transmission may be reduced. In order to prevent social distance violations, it is no longer practical to station between 24 and 7 people at each line. Countless people wait in line for hours every day at places like banks, government buildings, shopping centers, schools, theatres, and more. We create a socially distancing robot to keep people in their respective lines, using a three- or four-wheeled design for autonomous movement. A line of principle is used to follow the line of people waiting to see if there have been any infractions of the social distance between them. The robot uses infrared (IR) sensors to creep along the boundary and look for infractions. The robot has been upgraded with an ultrasonic sensor that can detect obstacles in its route.
To gauge the distance in a straight line between two humans, a robotic vehicle uses another ultrasonic sensor. Send the photo or video to our app using the raspberry pi we're connected to. Our system will double-check that everyone is available. If the robot detects two individuals standing closer than three to six feet apart, it will sound an alarm.
A picture taken with the onboard camera is then sent as a notice via WiFi and the Internet of Things, alerting the appropriate authorities or headquarters to the transgression and providing proof for prompt disciplinary action. In order to prevent the spread of the virus, this technology allows for the automated maintenance of social distance in lines.
