Abstract: This paper presents an IoT-enabled smart mobility robot integrated with a health monitoring system for real-time physiological data acquisition and remote supervision. The proposed system employs an Arduino Uno as the central controller to interface with multiple sensors including temperature, heart rate, SpO₂, ultrasonic, and touch sensors. The collected health parameters are displayed locally on a 16×2 LCD and simultaneously transmitted to a cloud platform through a NODEMCU ESP8266 module for remote monitoring using IoT services. A motor driver unit controls dual DC motors, enabling autonomous movement and obstacle avoidance using ultrasonic sensing. A buzzer is incorporated to provide emergency alerts when abnormal health conditions are detected. Bluetooth communication allows short-range manual control of the robot. The system is powered using a battery supply, ensuring portability and continuous operation. The proposed design offers a cost-effective, reliable, and scalable solution for healthcare assistance, patient monitoring, and smart mobility applications, particularly in remote and elderly care environments.

Keywords: IoT, Smart Mobility Robot, Health Monitoring System, Arduino Uno, NODEMCU ESP8266.
