RT Journal Article T1 ROBOTIC SOLUTION FOR OPENING DOORS IN CONTAINED OR HIGH BIOLOGICAL RISK FACILITIES A1 Outón, Jose Luis A1 Ibarguren, Aitor A1 Villaverde, Iván A1 Daelman, Paul A1 Sallé, Damien A1 Martínez-Otzeta, José María A1 Rodríguez, Igor A1 Sierra, Basilio AB In a context of a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, there is a need to disinfect busy areas such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories, public transport, etc. using techniques that pose a risk to health. In turn, the robotics industry is at a pivotal moment with great developments and applications in numerous applications. Therefore, the figure of robots is of great interest as they have the ability to perform these tasks autonomously. However, there are great challenges in current robotics that must be resolved in order to perform tasks correctly. This is the specific case of door opening. Something necessary since to achieve a complete disinfection the robot must go through all the rooms of the installation. In this work, a solution to the problem of opening doors is presented by means of a mobile robot to which artificial perception techniques are applied for detection, handling and autonomous navigation.
