CIVIBOT Enabling Smart Governance and Smart City Monitoring Robot
Abstract
The proposed project CiviBot is an IoT-based smart robot designed to assist in maintaining urban cleanliness and monitoring environmental conditions.The system aims to reduce human effort in routine city monitoring by automatically detecting garbage, gas leakage, smoke, or any hazardous environmental condition using multiple sensors.The robot is equipped with components such as an MQ-135 gas sensor, ultrasonic sensors, a camera module, and a Raspberry Pi controller.It moves autonomously through defined routes or user commands, continuously sensing air quality and surroundings.When abnormal gas levels, pollution, or garbage are detected, the system captures images, records location data, and transmits the information to municipal authorities using wireless communication for quick action.This automation helps reduce manual inspection, improves efficiency in waste and pollution management, and contributes toward creating a smart and sustainable urban ecosystem.The project also emphasizes real-time monitoring, data logging, and alert generation, ensuring timely response to potential environmental hazards.Thus, CiviBot serves as an intelligent, cost-effective, and practical solution for urban civic management under the smart city initiative.
