Abstract
This paper aims to develop a semi-autonomous robot that is capable of detecting metals in its path. The project presents a fully functional robot that moves on wheels with a conveyor belt mechanism demonstrating a dynamic mobility system. It uses the Wi-Fi module of ESP-32 as a primary microcontroller for its work ensuring efficient and wireless operation. The robot operates in two modes: manual control through a Bluetooth application and autonomous mode for automatic metal detection and movement. The metal detector rover is a robot that can detect the metal in a certain region, and make an alert buzzer sound to show the presence of metal. Beyond metal detection, this innovative design incorporates additional functionalities such as the real-time live location of the robot, and a live stream (visual perspective of the robot’s environment) of the surroundings via a CAM (Camera) module accessible on web pages. This project provided one with significant insight into GPS location tracking, ESP-32 microcontroller utilization, CAM module integration, and metal detecting
