Abstract: Bomb detection and surveillance in hazardous environments require intelligent robotic systems that reduce direct human involvement and improve operational safety. This paper presents the design and implementation of an IoT-based real-time bomb sensing robotic platform integrated with wireless video surveillance using an ESP32 microcontroller. The proposed system incorporates a metal detector for identifying metallic explosive components, an LPG gas sensor for detecting hazardous gases, and a DHT11 sensor for monitoring environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. A wireless night vision camera enables real-time video streaming for remote monitoring through a mobile-based interface. The robotic platform also includes a motor driver-based navigation system and a robotic arm mechanism for safe handling of suspicious objects. Experimental results demonstrate reliable sensor performance, effective wireless communication, and stable robotic movement during testing. The proposed system provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for surveillance, hazardous environment monitoring, and defence-related applications.

Keywords: Bomb Detection, IOT-Based Robotics, ESP32, Metal Detector, Gas sensor.
