The virus pandemic COVID-19 outbreak brought a huge pressureto the public healthcare system worldwide, especially in developing Africancountries like Uganda. The Educational system and institutions were put on astandstill due to no quick countermeasures to make the environment clean andsafe for normal activities to continue. This paper successfully andcomprehensively reviewed the Bluetooth and smart disinfectant sprayingrobot that successfully controlled the spread of the deadly virus. It alsodetailed different components that made up the complete spraying robotsystems and from this it was observed that spraying robot systems are madeup of almost the same components for implementations but differs onprogram that is embedded on the microcontroller due to different functions.This programing differs based on the functions that the designer/programmerwants the robot to do despite using almost the same components. Thisresearch review paper will act as guide for future researchers when designingand implementing a mobile spraying robot.
