Abstract
ExploroBot: A Versatile Robotic Explorer is a cutting-edge robotic platform designed for exploration and surveillance applications. Equipped with six battery-operated motors for mobility and an Arduino UNO microcontroller as its brain, the rover integrates ultrasonic sensors and two ESP32 Cam modules for obstacle avoidance and live footage streaming. With precise control mechanisms and advanced sensor technologies, ExploroBot: A Versatile Robotic Explorer offers a versatile solution for navigating complex environments while capturing real-time data for analysis and monitoring. Using 6 Battery Operated Motors for each BO Wheels, Arduino UNO as it’s Brain and Ultrasonic Sensor will provide it the Data around the Rover as the Ultrasonic Sensor is fitted on a Servo Motor for 180-degree movement and it will help the Microcontroller make decisions in order to Avoid the Collision with the Obstacles, The Rover is also, having Two ESP32 Cam Modules, One for Pan & Tilt Movement supported using more two Servo Motors and another ESP32 Cam Module for LIVE Footage of the Rover surrounding using web server on Our Mobile Phone or Laptop. The Ultrasonic Sensor does send and receive the signal rays in order to understand the obstacles distance from the rover and helping the rover take decisions and avoid obstacle. The One ESP32 Cam Modules used for Object Detection uses coco library for object detection and another for LIVE Streaming the footage around the rover when it is in action.
Keywords: Remote monitoring, Object detection, Advanced vision capabilities (AVC), Robotics. robotic platform, exploration, surveillance, Arduino UNO, ultrasonic sensor, ESP32 Cam modules, obstacle avoidance, live footage streaming.
