Autonomous Patrol and Threat Detection Through Integrated Mapping and Computer Vision

Abstract

This paper presents the creation of an innovative autonomous security robot designed to perform security functions with efficiency and reliability. The robot boasts mapping capabilities, which it utilizes to facilitate autonomous patrol in designated areas. Its primary operations involve the use of computer vision to detect violence, identify weapons and dangerous items, and recognize individuals. Critical incidents are met with an immediate alarm and the subsequent transmission of data to a central security server, which then generates comprehensive reports displayed through a web application for security personnel. The application itself features remote control of the robot, incident report management, status updates, and incident analytics. The robot demonstrates substantial real-world application potential, particularly in crowded environments where it could outperform conventional surveillance. The project combines concepts of engineering, computer science, and cybersecurity, functioning per design but with considerable potential for future refinement and expansion, embodying the concept of an evolving technological solution.
