Problem

Ensuring security in shopping centers, especially at night, requires continuous and effective supervision. The security of these large facilities is exposed to a variety of threats, including human threats such as trespassing, vandalism, burglary and theft, as well as environmental threats such as fire, smoke and gas leaks.

However, security teams may encounter resource constraints, such as personnel, equipment, and budgetary limitations, that can make large area coverage difficult to achieve. This can result in vulnerable areas that are susceptible to security breaches.

Furthermore, it remains a significant challenge to ensure accurate and reliable security patrols.

Solution

The main idea of the solution is to create:

Our solution is a robot that will patrol the mall at night when the mall is closed. The robot will detect smoke, suspicious noises and unexpected movements. It communicates everything with the security guard via an app. The robot will follow a pre-determined route.
