Abstract: The increasing threat of explosive devices in public and highly sensitive areas necessitates advanced robotic solutions for bomb detection and neutralization without human intervention. This paper presents a cost-effective, wireless PC- controlled robotic system to detect and neutralize bombs while minimizing human risk. The robot has a wireless camera that provides live video for real-time monitoring. It uses a metal detector to find bombs and gas sensors to detect harmful gases in the area. Image and video processing techniques help the robot recognize if any person is nearby and send an alert. It also has a GPS module that tracks its location in real time. The robot is controlled by Arduino Uno and ESP32, which help all parts work together smoothly. A robotic arm with a wire cutter is used to safely handle and disable bombs. During testing, the robot worked well in detecting threats, moving through different terrains, and staying connected with the operator. This project combines smart technologies like automation, IoT, and image processing to create a useful robot for police, military, and rescue teams. It also supports global goals like improving safety, promoting innovation, and protecting people?s health.
