Women Safety Night Patrolling Robot in IoT

Abstract

This document outlines the design, implementation, and usage of the "IoT-Based Women Safety Night Patrolling Robot", which, in various ways, successfully displays a new development in deployment and safety for women alone at night. The concerning issue to society's level of violence against women is unprecedented. This project employe \"Internet of Things\" (IoT) with the ESP32-CAM microcontroller, an adaptive navigation algorithm, and real-time video stream. All of these items combined make an autonomous robotic system patrol an established area and surveils and alerts to possible threats, sending video and other information back to the control center for intervention. The robot is programmed parametrically in speed and light display. It reacts to its external environment entirely, making the device complex for robotic patrol in public. The system also includes an obstacle avoidance capability and can navigate dynamically through its environment autonomously. This robotic, IoT-enabled system is intended to allow peace of mind in safety for women, while building independence in public. Future development involves an AI-enabled threat detection capacity, as well as increasing the patrolling capacity of the system. Ultimately, the Women Safety Night Patrolling Robot is a significant step forward in addressing the societal challenge of women’s safety, empowering women to navigate public spaces with greater confidence and ensuring timely, proactive security measures in urban and rural areas.
