Abstract
Corona virus is a type of virus that has been identified as a cause of disease in the respiratory tract and can spread quickly. To overcome the spread of the virus, a preventive measure is carried out in the form of quarantine in a room or quarantine room. Patients in quarantine rooms certainly need drugs to treat exposure to the corona virus. The delivery process to the quarantine room certainly makes health workers vulnerable to contracting this virus.
This drug and food delivery robot was created to replace the role of health workers in delivering drugs and food to the rooms of COVID-19 quarantine patients. This robot can send medicine and food automatically according to the given room number input. This robot uses the concept of odometry, which moves to follow a trajectory in the form of the distance between the starting point and the end point (destination) on the coordinate axis of the robot^s movement. In designing the system using myrio as a controller and programmed with Labview software, a sharp infrared sensor gp2y0a21 as a wall detector, an ultrasonic ping sensor as an obstacle detector in front of the robot, an infrared sensor tcrt5000 as a line detector, and a rotary encorder sensor as a robot mileage detector.
Based on the experimental results, this robot has been able to work well in the process of delivering drugs and food to each room according to the given room number input.
