Disinfecting Robot in Herat, Afghanistan

As each day passed, the number of persons who contracted the Corona Virus and died also rose, which caused an increase in the level of anxiety and tension among the population. In order to find a solution to the problem, I considered putting my technical abilities to use in mitigating the impact of the crisis. In the end, I decided to construct a robot that cleans in an attempt to lessen the likelihood that people may get infected with the newly discovered virus.

It took me approximately a month and a half to finish the project, which was ultimately finished in April 2020. It has the capability to be managed remotely in order to disinfect congested areas. It is made up of two actuators, a 4-kilogram container (to save the disinfecting materials that are contained within), a liquid pumper, a set of 12-volt batteries, four tyres, a remote controller (distance: 50 metres), two gearboxes, and four tyres as the primary components.

In July 2020, the Ministry of Public Health expressed gratitude for my initiative for the contribution it made toward creating educational settings that were safer in the middle of the epidemic. My robot helped me clean the classrooms at the Engineering Faculty of Herat University, which had a total enrollment of around 200 students in early 2021. I utilised it three days a week. In conclusion, the project has been fruitful on a regional scale, and it has shown the significance of maintaining a fighting spirit in the face of an adversary on a global scale.
