Abstract—Growing security challenges today require smart and automated surveillance systems that can function without human limits. Manual night patrolling often fails due to fatigue, reduced alertness, and poor visibility, compromising safety. To solve these problems, this project presents an AI-powered autonomous patrolling robot that improves monitoring and protection. Built on Arduino technology, the system uses PIR (Passive Infrared), ultrasonic, and proximity sensors to detect intruders in real time. By merging automation with sensor intelligence, the robot provides a cost-effective solution that minimizes human error while ensuring continuous surveillance. This makes it a practical and dependable choice for modern security needs.
