Intrusion Detection System Using Regulated Patrolling Robot

Abstract

Robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT) are rapidly transforming the field of remote monitoring and automation. 
This project presents the design and implementation of a Wi-Fi-controlled surveillance robot vehicle capable of real
time video streaming and remote navigation through a web-based interface. The primary objective of the system is to 
develop a low-cost, portable, and efficient robotic platform that can be utilized for surveillance in environments where 
human access is difficult, hazardous, or impractical. 
The surveillance robot is built around the ESP32-CAM module, which integrates a microcontroller, Wi-Fi connectivity, 
and an onboard camera into a compact platform. An L298N motor driver is employed to control two BO motors, 
enabling the robot to move in forward, backward, left, and right directions. The entire system is powered by a 
rechargeable battery, making the robot fully wireless, portable, and suitable for remote operations. 
The ESP32-CAM functions as a web server, providing live video streaming to a smartphone or computer over a Wi
Fi network. Users can access a web-based control interface to monitor real-time video and transmit navigation 
commands to the robot. This functionality enables the robot to operate as a mobile surveillance unit for monitoring 
both indoor and outdoor environments remotely. 
The proposed system offers an effective and economical solution for applications such as security surveillance, 
military monitoring, disaster rescue operations, industrial inspection, and home automation. The project demonstrates 
the successful integration of IoT and robotics technologies to develop a smart, scalable, and cost-effective surveillance 
robot vehicle.
