Guardian ROMV – Smart Rescue Operations Monitoring Vehicle

Abstract: The rise in natural and human-induced disasters necessitates advanced autonomous systems for rescue and surveillance. Guardian ROMV (Rescue Operations Monitoring Vehicle) is a smart rover integrated with AI, IoT, and sensor technologies designed to assist in hazardous environments. The system leverages Arduino, NodeMCU, GPS, and various sensors like gas, sound, fire/smoke, and motion detection to autonomously monitor and react to environmental conditions. Controlled via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, the rover supports voice command operations and geo-fencing capabilities. Results from simulated tests confirm the prototype's utility in enhancing situational awareness in disaster response. This work emphasizes future integration with cloud computing and advanced AI for real-world deployment.
