Apr 17, 2020

As some states look toward relaxing restrictions and social distancing measures, such as stay-at-home orders, new projections suggest social distancing may need to continue through 2022. Researchers predict that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, will return every winter, and that prolonged or intermittent social distancing strategies could limit the strain on health care systems.

Dr. Gregory Poland, a Mayo Clinic COVID-19 expert, predicts that the COVID-19 pandemic will change many aspects of U.S. culture in the future, including the need to always practice social distancing measures.

Prototype spraying / disinfection robot developed at CSRL-HMU

Apr 21, 2020

Demonstration of a prototype spraying / disinfection robot, developed by the Control Systems & Robotics Laboratory, at the Hellenic Mediterranean University (Heraklion, Greece).

The battery-operated mobile platform carries an electric knapsack sprayer with electronic flow control and a blower unit, mounted on a 2 dof robotic arm. The latter can be controlled to aim the spray at a specific direction or implement programmable sweeping motions. The system also provides for variable spray flow rate, including an operation mode where the flow rate is automatically adjusted in relation to the vehicle's speed.
Due to it's compact size and skid-steer drive, the robot is highly maneuverable and can effectively navigate through indoor as well as outdoor environments.
The current prototype is teleoperated via an R/C transmitter with live video feed from an onboard camera. Semi- or fully-autonomous operation can be obtained with the addition of appropriate sensor suites.
