Abstract

The year 2020 has brought out a worst and a new pandemic which the world has ever witnessed in its history that is the Corona Viral Disease 19 (COVID 19). The most serious issue is that now it had conquered the entire globe and the world is facing a serious issue. The health departments are fighting seriously to decrease the spread rate because no vaccines or medicines are yet discovered. During this fight many of our health workers are vulnerable to the attack of this virus, many get infected and many more had lost their life. Therefore,most important focus has to be given for the treatment of  virus affected patients. This paper introduces a Semi Humanoid controlled by human actions. This robot can mimic like human action. Thus no additional trainings are required to control the robot. Hence, this Semi-Humanoid ROBOT can be used instead of health workers for Isolation Wards. The ROBOT can be used for serving medicines, monitoring temperature and providing needful things to the patients. Further, Interaction with the patient can be done from the remote end through the attached camera in the ROBOT. Interner of Thinhgs (IOT) based controlled devices and an Exo-skeleton with latest sensor (FLUX Sensor) are used in the proposed ROBOT. FLUX Sensor is selected here for flexible and fast actions of the robot. High definition cameras are provided for live visual capturing. Additionally, Long range wireless communication (LORA) wireless network is used for bringing up faster communication and to avoid interference with other networks. Gear motors are provided for lifting and moving the object. Moreover, it can be used for military purpose.
