IOT social distance detection robot
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryThe robot consists of a 4 wheel design system used to drive the robotic vehicle. It makes use of a line
following principle to constantly move along with the queue and monitor for social distancing violations.
The robotic uses IR sensing to travel along with the queue to and fro in order to detect violations. The
robot is now equipped with obstacle detecting ultrasonic sensor in order to detect obstacles in the
vehicle path.
The robotic vehicle uses camera module for detecting distance between 2 individuals in a queue. It any 2
individuals are found having less than 3 feet distance between them, the robot instantly sounds a buzzer
and alert to inform about the violation.
Also it sends alerts of these violations along with a camera picture using wifi over iot to inform the higher
authorities/head office to update them about violations with proof so instant disciplinary action can be
taken.
Thus this project allows for automatic maintaining social distancing in queues to help prevent spread
of the virus.
Social distancing is of key importance during the current pandemic. It helps limit the spread of covid by
observing distance between disease spreading individuals. Now it is not possible to station a person 24×7
at each queue to monitor social distancing violations. Banks, Public Offices, Malls, Schools, Theatres etc
usually see long queues for hours every day. To ensure social distancing in queues we hereby design a
social distancing monitoring robot.
This will help the organization to maintain the social distancing in the queues and help the
people to follow the SOP’s.

Benefits of the Project- Fully Automated Monitoring
- 24 Hour Operation
- Automated path Following
- No Manual Errors
- Contactless Working
Once you start the server the project will automatically start working and it can detect the distance violation and you can see the output display on a web server.
