Real-Time Multi-Sensing Robotic Platform with Wireless Video Surveillance

Abstract

With the increasing need for safety in military, defense, and hazardous environments, intelligent robotic systems have become essential to reduce human risk. This paper presents the design and implementation of a multi-functional IoT-based robotic system integrated with a robotic arm for bomb and metal disposal operations. The proposed system is built around an ESP32 microcontroller, which controls multiple sensors and actuators for real-time monitoring and decision-making. The robot is equipped with metal detection, LPG gas sensing, temperature and humidity monitoring, RFID identification, and wireless video surveillance using an IP camera. A robotic arm mechanism is integrated to safely pick and dispose of suspicious metallic or explosive objects, minimizing human involvement in dangerous situations. The movement of the robot is controlled through motor driver modules, while live video streaming enables remote monitoring and navigation. The system also supports wireless communication for real-time data transmission and control. The inclusion of an intelligent gripping arm enhances the robot’s capability to handle bomb-like objects safely and efficiently. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system provides reliable sensing, stable movement, and effective object handling, making it suitable for military surveillance, bomb disposal, border security, and disaster management applications. This low-cost, scalable, and energy-efficient robotic platform offers a practical solution for modern defense and safety operations, reducing human risk while improving operational efficiency
