İlkay Ulusoy & M. Mert Ankaralı | COVID Watch Robot: The goal of this project is to build a robotic system which continuously patrols EEMB corridors and watches if people act according to the health regulations regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. The robot should safely navigate and search the corridors, understand if people inside the building comply with social distancing metrics, and detect people without masks. If the robot detects a person (or people) who do not comply with Covid-19 related regulations, it should warn the person and report the issue to the department. |
