Abstract

The importance of healthy hygiene cannot be over emphasized. A system to promote personal hygiene has been designed. The aim achieved in this paper was to design and implement an automatic hand sanitizer capable of detecting an object (hand) within a proximity ranging from 0-6 meters via an ultrasonic sensor. This in turn sends a signal to the Arduino microcontroller which processes and activates the servo motors. A rotational force by the servo motors mounts pressure on the sanitizer cap and forces a spillage of the alcohol-based liquid within a period of 2 seconds. The process continues whenever an object is detected by the ultrasonic sensor. The developed system eliminates every form of physical contact while getting the hands sanitized, serving has a preventive measure for the wide spread of COVID-19
