Abstract

Social distancing plays an indispensable part during the ongoing pandemic. In this period, maintaining social distancing standards between people has turned into essential insurance to dial back the spreading of COVID-19. We present an original technique to recognize matches consequently of people in a jam-packed situation individuals do not maintain the social distance restriction, which calls for about 3 ft of space between them. This project assists in restricting the spread of the coronavirus by noticing the distance between disease-spreading people. Presently, it is absurd to expect to station an individual 24 × 7 at each line to screen social separating distance violations. For instance—banks, public offices, malls, schools, theatres, and so forth typically see long lines for hours consistently. To ensure social distancing in lines, this robot aids in monitoring the social distancing. Accordingly, this robot aids in maintaining the social distance between the crowd in a public environment to assist and forestall the spread of the virus. This robot serves to be an economical solution in public places where the gathering of people is significantly high. With appropriate obstacle detection, and crowd monitoring the official are also kept updated due to the Wi-Fi and IoT technology incorporated into a robot. This robot is expected to serve as a good solution in this pandemic time.
