Voice User Interface(VuI) Smart Office Door Application in the Context of Covid-19 Pandemic

Nowadays, all countries around the globe are trying their best to prevent the spread of Covid-19 from reaching their people. However, the virus spread is through the transmission of close contact with the infected person and touching a surface that already contains the virus. This project presents Voice User Interface (VUI) Smart Office Door System that interact with the Internet of Things (IoT) to execute the command given by the user. This project use Raspberry Pi as microcontroller which Thonny Python software used for running the coding script of the system. The electrical components such as dc motors and LEDs are connected to General-Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pin of Raspberry Pi and motor driver. One of the dc motors used for controlling the lock and another one used for controlling the door. Blue LED used as locked door notification while green LED used as unlocked notification. Microphone and speaker connect to the Raspberry Pi through usb port and Bluetooth. This system used Google Assistant as its VUI to control the smart door contactless. The user can give the command to the system through microphone to control the output of the system. The purpose of this project is to invent the smart door with IoT technology that help prevent the spread of Covid-19 at the workplaces. © The 2022 International Conference on Artificial Life and Robotics (ICAROB2022).
