It is a truth our hand-washing habit is abysmally negative, in particular in rural areas of us of a. Children are worst affected and that they fall prey to many diarrhea and respiration diseases because of this, scientific practitioners say. To contain this malady, Amrita Viswa Vidyapeetham in Kerala and Glasgow University in Scotland have at the same time advanced a robot known as ‘Pepe’ which inspires school children to scrub their palms properly.

Installed on the pilot foundation in a central authority primary school in Wayanad in north Kerala ‘Pepe’ is a runaway hit. Now it’s miles set for the all India rollout. Besides Kerala five states: Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Tamil Nadu, and Chattisgarh have evinced interest to put in it in their schools and villages, stated Dr. Bhwani Rao, director of Amrita Multi-version Application and Computer-Human- Interaction wing of the Amrita Viswa Vidyapeetam, a deemed college headquartered in Kollam, south Kerala.

In Chitragiri Government Primary School in Kalpetta (Wayanad district) the hand-shaped ‘Pepe ‘was mounted on the wall close to the washroom and instructors say after its arrival youngsters among five and 12 made it an addiction to go to it at the least three times in the course of the faculty time.

Let us see how the robot works? A small video display is installed in the back of Pepe’s inexperienced plastic exterior and it will act like a mouth interacting with the people who come near it. It will give a small lesson on the importance of hand-washing and the way it could be done. A set of rolling eyes on the robot gives an influence that Pepe is talking to you personally.

“Pepe interacted with the children in their neighborhood language, Malayalam, and hand-washing with cleaning soap and better hygiene practices went up dramatically. The message etches in young minds efficiently. Our aim is to comprise infections that unfold via untidy hands,” said Dr. Bhwani Rao.

“It is a laugh. The robot interacts with kids as a friend. We observed its social messages have a deep impact on children. Now as a minimum ninety-five % of the students know while to scrub hands using soaps,” stated head trainer of the college PR Usha. The novelty and neighborhood language elements made the robot an immediate success, she said including many parents complained that usage of soap bars elevated in their houses.

“Rural populations in growing nations have limited publicity and get right of entry to to technology because of their far-flung geography and reduced monetary heritage. Social robots can doubtlessly create a fine effect on their lives_ handwashing with soap is a smooth, powerful, and cheap way to save you illnesses and keep lives,” said Dr. Amol Deshmukh of the University of Glasgow.

“Look, pilot projects like this check out how robotics can assist cope with common challenges dealing with low-earnings rural groups in India and global. In future research will focus on developing the self sufficient generation for the social robotics,” said Dr. Rao.

According to the World Health Organisation records at least 1300 kids die in the global, including 320 in India, every day because of diarrhea and respiratory infection associated with sicknesses. Proper hand-washing habit is an effective tool to comprise these deaths. Interestingly October 15 is the ‘Global Handwashing Day’ and officials running with the global public non-public partnership initiative said respiration and intestinal diseases can be reduced 25-50 consistent with cent if there may be healthful hand-washing dependancy.
