The project aims in designing a robot which is capable of monitoring and controlling from remote place. It switches on the UV lamp through which UV rays are emitted and also sanitize the surroundings. Ultraviolet-C Radiation, Disinfection, and Corona virus given the current outbreak of Corona virus Disease. Since there is no vaccine yet available in the market, the only way to be safe is by taking precautions. It is suggested to sanitize surroundings that help in slowing down the spread of infection as the virus mainly gets transmitted with the aerosols which come out of an infected person's nose or mouth while coughing or sneezing. To solve these problems, we have designed a raspberry pi-based sanitization robot along with UV lamp. This is the internet of things (IOT) based project, where we are particularly uses the Raspberry Pi, pi camera, sanitizer, UV lamp along with relay driver and two DC motor along with l293d motor driver with Robot chassis to build this Robotic car setup. It has a pi camera mounted over it, through which we will get live video feed and the interesting part here is that we can control and move this robot from a web browser over the internet. The Pi cam will capture live data with regards to its surroundings and then send it to a particular IP address through internet. The user will be observing this live streaming on the mobile and according to that the user will control the robotic vehicle through the webpage and as well as control the sanitizer and UV lamp from the web page. Here relay likes as a switch to on and off the sanitizer and UV lamp.12v,2ah battery and power bank are used to give the power supply of the robot and raspberry pi. The main controlling device of the project is raspberry pi.

The objectives of the project include:

• Controlling robot from remote places.
• Using pi camera for live streaming.
• Using DC motors to moves the robot.
• Using IOT technology.
• It sanitizes our surroundings.
• It consists of UV lamp to kill the virus.
• To achieve this task using Raspberry pi zero w processor.

The major building blocks of this project are:

• Battery
• Power bank.
• Raspberry pi zero w.
• UV lamp.
• Sanitizer.
• DC Motors with L293D driver.
• Pi camera
• SD card.
• Relays.

Software’s used:

• Python language.
• Linux os.
