The problem Bhavishy solves

Transmission of SARS-CoV–2, the beta coronavirus causing COVID–19, is through direct contact and airborne routes, and studies of SARS-CoV–2 stability have shown viability in aerosols for at least 3 hours. Given the rapid spread of the disease, including through asymptomatic carriers, it is of evident importance to explore practical mitigation technologies that can inactivate the airborne virus in public locations and thus limit airborne transmission and surface contact transmission. Observing the present scenario of India, the rate of spread of Coronavirus is exponential and has to be stopped. The proposed product is a chemical less, eco-friendly mass sanitization system, which supports the latest guidelines given by the government concerning the mass sanitization of public places. The Robot Quickly disinfects bacteria, viruses, and fungi on hard to reach surfaces and produce NO Ozone. The optimal germicidal wavelength of 254 nm is used that takes care of future/upcoming challenges. When the light of 254nm is shined on bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, it deactivates their DNA, destroying their ability to multiply and killing them. The bot has embedded the Arduino board integrated with PIR sensors to detect the Human presence and sanitize automatically in the absence of humans. Not only Coronavirus, but it will also kill other germs and other contagious microorganisms. The extension of the product can be further implemented for eco-friendly, chemical less water disinfection.

Challenges I ran into

Being a hardware project, I faced several issues while simulating the project virtually, but thanks to google it helped me out with the issues I got.
