VAYU-vision assisted Yaan for utility
Abstract
This paper presents VAYU (Vision Assisted Yaan for Utility), a novel autonomous home assistant and surveillance robot designed to integrate computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), in a single mobile platform. VAYU combines low-cost hardware such as the ESP32-CAM with AI-enabled navigation, human/pet detection. Its multimodal agentic AI system enables VAYU to understand and react intelligently to its environment, providing security, convenience, and assistive functionality within a domestic setting. This system architecture and implementation offer a promising solution for next-generation home automation and monitoring system.
