Abstract

In terms of COVID-19 pandemic, the mechatronic system, essentially a smart window, supplemented with devices for interception and disinfection of drops and capsules with viruses and bacteria, both outside and inside. This allows preventing the ingress of infected aerosols into the room along with streams of air rising along the buildings and spreading inside it in the presence of infected people along with turbulent jets of air. With widespread use, the system helps to reduce the spread of infection, transmitted mainly by airborne droplets. The hardware for controlling the window system is performed on a board from the Arduino MEGA 2560 R3 ATMEGA16U2 family, two control boards with ten relays and ten sensor modules. Control program for the window system control circuit is written in the LabVIEW graphical programming environment (National Instrument USA).
