A ROS2-Based Autonomous UAV Software Framework with YOLO-Driven Multi-Sensor Surveillance for Law Enforcement: A Simulation Study
Abstract: The rapid proliferation of drone technology in India and worldwide has presented new opportunities to law enforcement agencies to enhance the methods used to monitor and patrol, and respond to threats to security. This paper introduces a full software system for a ROS2-based autonomous unnamed aerial vehicle (UAV) system for law enforcement surveillance. The system, validated entirely via high-fidelity simulation using Gazebo Classic and PX4 Software-in-the-Loop (SITL), uses a combination …

Autonomous Infection Control System
Abstract: Escalating problems arise mainly at hospitals due to transmission of microbes through air, which causes life threatening situations. Doctors, nurses and other members are more vulnerable to diseases from within the place. PPE kits and other disinfecting procedures require an in-human presence to do the work, which makes it more challenging and puts the person's life at risk. In current scenarios, human presence is required for sanitising and cleaning procedures, …

Development of a Low-Cost Autonomous Robot for Obstacle Avoidance Using Ultrasonic Sensing
Abstract: In the evolving landscape of automation, autonomous mobile robots are becoming critical for performing tasks with minimal human intervention. This project presents the design and development of a cost-effective, small-scale obstacle-avoiding robot using an Arduino microcontroller and an ultrasonic sensor. The robot operates by scanning its surroundings, identifying nearby obstacles, and navigating by altering its path in real time. Through intelligent programming and sensor integration, the system achieves smooth, collision-free …

Advancements and Challenges in Automated Guided Vehicles for Smart Industrial Automation
Abstract: Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are increasingly central to modern industrial automation, enhancing operational efficiency in manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. Traditionally reliant on fixed paths using magnetic tapes or wired tracks, AGVs were limited in flexibility. However, recent technological advances have enabled the development of autonomous AGVs equipped with sensor fusion, LiDAR, computer vision, and artificial intelligence (AI). These features support real-time obstacle detection, dynamic path planning, and robust performance in …

Unoccupied Floor Extraction in Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation
Abstract: AbstractConsidering the today’s atomization need, autonomous mobile robot navigation and arena exploration becomes most substantial research area. The majority of navigational issues are robot localization, on floor objects localization, deciding strategy for navigation. This paper address the method used to explore empty floor detection implemented on raspberry pi 3 which assistances autonomous mobile robot in terms of localization during safe navigation. The literature shows most of the localization algorithms uses …
