DuoSanBot: An Intelligent Dual-Mode Sanitization Robot with Autonomous Navigation

This project presents an intelligent autonomous robot designed to perform sanitization tasks in indoor environment. The system combines navigation, obstacle detection, and dual sanitization methods to create a practical and effective solution for maintaining hygiene.   The robot is capable of moving independently, avoiding obstacles, and performing cleaning operations with minimal human involvement. By using modern technologies such as sensors, communication modules, and automated control, the system ensures reliable performance and safe operation.   Overall, the developed system demonstrates a useful and scalable approach to automated sanitization. With further improvements and real-world deployment, this technology has strong potential to support healthcare facilities, offices, educational institutions, and public spaces in maintaining better hygiene and safety standards.
