Abstract: : It has become a big worry for women to be safe in public places because there are more and more incidents on isolated roads, in parks, on campuses, and in cities. Fixed CCTV cameras and manual security patrols are examples of traditional surveillance systems that have limited coverage, slow response times, and no smart monitoring. To get around these problems, we suggest an IoT-based Smart Robot for Women Patrolling. The NodeMCU ESP8266 / ESP32 microcontroller is the main part of the system. It controls the sensors, motors, camera modules, and communication devices. An ultrasonic sensor is used to find obstacles and keep the robot from running into them. A camera module takes pictures and videos to watch over and keep an eye on suspicious behaviour. A GPS module keeps track of where the robot is at all times, and a buzzer sounds an alarm in case of an emergency. The robot uses IoT technology that works over Wi-Fi to send alerts in real time and let people watch it from afar. DC motors with a motor driver are used to move on their own while patrolling. The system runs on a rechargeable battery, which makes it portable and good for use outside. The suggested system provides constant surveillance, smart monitoring, less work for people, and a quick response in case of an emergency. It can be used on college campuses, in train stations, on streets, in parking lots, and in other public places to make women safer. The project shows that IoT and robotics can be used to create a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective way to patrol security.
