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.
