Abstract
The virus pandemic COVID-19 outbreak brought a huge pressure
to the public healthcare system worldwide, especially in developing African
countries like Uganda. The Educational system and institutions were put on a
standstill due to no quick countermeasures to make the environment clean and
safe for normal activities to continue. This paper successfully and
comprehensively reviewed the Bluetooth and smart disinfectant spraying
robot that successfully controlled the spread of the deadly virus. It also
detailed different components that made up the complete spraying robot
systems and from this it was observed that spraying robot systems are made
up of almost the same components for implementations but differs on
program that is embedded on the microcontroller due to different functions.
This programing differs based on the functions that the designer/programmer
wants the robot to do despite using almost the same components. This
research review paper will act as guide for future researchers when designing
and implementing a mobile spraying robot.
