Abstract

The virus pandemic COVID-19 outbreak brought a huge pressure to the public healthcare system worldwide, especially in developing African countries like Uganda. The Educational system and institutions were put on a standstill due to no quick countermeasures to make the environment clean and safe for normal activities to continue. This paper successfully and comprehensively reviewed the Bluetooth and smart disinfectant spraying robot that successfully controlled the spread of the deadly virus. It also detailed different components that made up the complete spraying robot systems and from this it was observed that spraying robot systems are made up of almost the same components for implementations but differs on program that is embedded on the microcontroller due to different functions. This programing differs based on the functions that the designer/programmer wants the robot to do despite using almost the same components. This research review paper will act as guide for future researchers when designing and implementing a mobile spraying robot.
