As the Novel Coronavirus threat has shaken the world, the WHO and the CDC are trying their best to contain the spread of COVID-19. Now, to prevent the spread, the WHO has published numerous guidelines that the people need to follow to avoid getting infected. One of these guidelines discourages public to touch surfaces as the virus can transfer to the hands. Now how would you take hand sanitiser to clean your hands without touching the sanitiser dispensing bottle? This very question led a seventh-grade Indian student to build a sanitiser dispensing robot.

As per the report, Siddh has a strong interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and is curious to learn more about the field in his future. According to him, taking hand sanitiser from a robot can be “super fun” and it did intrigue him to “dig deeper” in developing the more similar technology.
