COVID-19 Pandemic is the current issue that the world is facing. So there is the challenge of minimizing or controlling the COVID-19 cases as soon as possible. Most affected people are front-line workers, so by using IoT and Robotics problems can be solved. A wheeled robot is developed, which will have some of the important functionalities. These functionalities will help in reducing the spread of COVID-19. Some of the functionalities are Face mask Detection, Body Temperature Sensor, Contactless hand Sanitizer, Emergency Button. While the movement of the robot is in the indoor environment, so the ROS (Robot Operating System) technology is used, this will help in building the map of the environment and will locate itself on the map. It is called SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The whole controlling of the robot will take place remotely.
