COVID-19 is the fifth pandemic to be documented since the 1918 flu pandemic. The virus spreads swiftly and evolves over time among humans because it is highly contagious. Since the virus is known to spread airborne, few of the most efficient ways to protect ourselves are by following social distance among individuals and to wear a face mask or shield at all times. These 2 conditions are not followed by some individuals even if the rules are set to be strict and it is impossible for the government to watch over everyone at all times. Companies and other sectors has to be allowed to operated even during the crisis due to economic factors. This is a risky situation for both the companies and the people. As a solution for this situation, a prototype is created to assist with social distance monitoring in public areas to reduce the risk of disease spread. The robot operates by using an Arduino MEGA, IR Sensors and Ultrasonic sensors. The robot comes with a robust and compact design to work in most places with the ability to follow a pre-determined path which gives it a tremendous market potential in all sorts of sectors that involves high number of employees or people.
