Week 11: Robot Hardware Building and the Implementation of Face Mask Detection

 

What we finished in these two weeks:

  • Hardware for the robots
    • We have used a tripod to hold the mobile camera. Figure 1&2 demonstrate the graphic design of the robot and how it actually looks like.
    • A 10 ft extension USB cable will be used to connect the camera and the computer
    • We estimated the observation distance between the robot and passengers. Between 1.3 meters to 1.5 meters, the robot is able to observe two passengers at once.

Week 9: Project Literature Review & Methodology

L ITERATURE R EVIEW A. The Importance of Mask during COVID-19 In order to slow the spread of COVID-19, limiting physical distancing and using other measurements to decrease the transmission probability are necessary. According to J. Howard et al., if face masks were used by all household members prior to symptoms occurring, it has a 79% effective rate in preventing transmission. Besides, the states with mask mandates to require residents to wear a mask have a lower daily growth rate than those without. As a mask provides a physical barrier that reduces the spread of respiratory droplets and particles into the air, properly wearing a mask can protect the safety of everyone [1]. Figure 1 : The efficiency of mask in blocking the virus B. The Implementation of Mask Detection Robot Currently, mask and temperature detection robots have shown their important role in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The U...

Week 15: Final Blog

Progress Update Week 13-15: Solved the USB port issue by switching the user to the root Solved the lagging issue by separating the program into a detector and the main program Used UDP communication to connect two programs Sender: Face mask detector Receiver: Main program Calculated the driving control errors  Used Espeak (a text-to-speech generator) as our audio assistant Filmed the demo video Did the project presentation Wrote the final project report Final Product:            Project Demo (If the video cannot be opened, here is the YouTube link: https://youtu.be/JRxGMKsTSpk ) Conclusion The robot is able to check if the passenger wear a mask or not The robot can move towards the passenger without a mask The robot can notify the passenger to take a mask Future work Use a closed-loop system for the driving control or let the robot move randomly Use a smaller computer that can “sit” on the Roomba Detector aborted because moving too fast or hit the came...
