Harvey Dent: SmartGuard (An IoT-Enabled Surveillance Robot for Mining Safety)

Abstract: Mining involves extracting materials, such as coal, from underground. Common mine workers encounter dangerous risks such as hazardous accidents and extreme underground environments. To facilitate communication between miners inside the mine and outside rescue teams, we are creating a robotic interface that will leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to send warning messages or alerts. Our various sensors, along with the components Raspberry Pi, PI camera, MQ sensor, PIR sensor, DHT 11, and ultrasonic sensor, will assist us in providing accurate data regarding the conditions within the coal mine via the Internet of Things. As a result, based on the obtained monitoring data and notifications, the rescue team will be sent out.
